Washington Commanders Acquire Deebo Samuel from 49ers for Draft Selection

In a significant trade, Deebo Samuel leaves the 49ers to join the Commanders, marking a new chapter in his career as he heads to Washington.

The Deebo Samuel era in the Bay Area has reached its end. The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to trade the star receiver to the Washington Commanders, according to CBS Sports lead NFL Insider Jonathan Jones. In exchange, the Commanders are sending a fifth-round pick to the Niners for Samuel, reports ESPN.

While this trade is agreed to between both sides, it cannot become official until the start of the new league year on March 12. The Commanders have already taken to social media to suggest that something significant has occurred:

Samuel’s impending departure from the 49ers had been anticipated, with general manager John Lynch stating this week at the NFL Scouting Combine that the team would “honor” his trade request. Now heading to Washington, Samuel will pair up with Jayden Daniels, who will be throwing him the football.

Alongside the Commanders, teams such as the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers were also expressed interest in acquiring the receiver.
