Odell Beckham Jr. as the NFL draft came to a close nearly set the NFL world on fire by tweeting that Deebo Samuel had been traded to the Patriots.

Beckham and Samuel have been going back and forth on Twitter over the days leading up to and through the draft with Beckham teasing that he “got the tea” from Samuel. The 49ers receiver appeared to indicate Beckham didn’t know much, but it was still intriguing.

That came to a head Saturday afternoon when Beckham lobbed a tweet saying that the 49ers and Patriots struck a deal for the All-Pro receiver.

NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero quickly shot down this ‘report.’

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer elaborated in his denial of Beckham’s tweet.

NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport also weighed in.

Thanks, Ian.

After the dust settled, Samuel offered his thoughts on Beckham’s most recent foray into reporting on Samuel’s offseason.

Samuel is not being traded to the Patriots. At least for now.
