Deebo Samuel Traded to the Commanders – A Game-Changing Move
Alright, let’s talk about one of the biggest moves of the NFL offseason—Deebo Samuel is officially leaving the San Francisco 49ers and heading to the Washington Commanders. Yeah, you heard that right. The All-Pro wide receiver, who’s been a major playmaker for the Niners, is now set to join Washington in a trade that definitely shakes things up.
Now, this move comes after Deebo himself requested a trade earlier this offseason. 49ers GM John Lynch confirmed it during the NFL Scouting Combine, saying they wanted to “honor” his request. And here we are—just days later, the deal is done. Reports say the 49ers are getting a fifth-round draft pick in return. Seems like a low return for a player of his caliber, right? But let’s break it down.

Samuel has been a powerhouse for San Francisco since he was drafted in 2019. That 2021 season? Insane. Over 1,400 receiving yards, an All-Pro selection, and a reputation as one of the most dynamic offensive weapons in the league. But last season? A bit of a different story. He played fewer games and had a noticeable drop in production, finishing with just 670 receiving yards. Combine that with the 49ers' rough 6-11 season, and maybe a fresh start was exactly what he needed.
For the Commanders, this move is big. Deebo brings versatility, toughness, and playmaking ability—exactly what their offense needs. And pairing him with Terry McLaurin? That could be a dangerous duo. Washington’s receiver room was already undergoing major changes, with several players set to hit free agency. Bringing in a guy like Samuel signals they’re serious about reloading.
Of course, the big question is: does Deebo still have that elite playmaking ability? He’s 29 now and has taken a lot of hits with his physical style of play. But if he can stay healthy, he could be a game-changer for the Commanders.
One thing’s for sure—this is just the start of what’s shaping up to be an exciting offseason. Stay tuned, because there’s plenty more action coming!
