I like what he's done over the years, but I wouldn't throw new money at him, simply for the privilege of having him on the roster. He could be spent.

I also forgot to mention any team trading for him will most likely also want some assurance of negotiating a new contract because he'll be a free agent in 2026 otherwise.  I don't know if teams will want to trade much for a player only for one year.  He would be fairly cheap salary wise for that team because his base salary and other bonuses are not that much in 2025 but I wonder what a trade for a 1 year rental would look like. 

Overall, I don't think what the 49er's and Samuel will most likely be looking for fits the Bengals right now.
