Deebo Samuel’s commercial request has been granted.
The wide receiver of the 49ers of San Francisco goes to the Washington commanders for a choice of fifth round in the draft of the NFL 2025, According to NFL Network and other media relationships.
The trade agreement comes a few days after the Director General of 49ers, John Lynch, said that the team would honor Samuel’s trade request and see if there were available commercial partners. Washington was volunteer after making the match for the NFC title during the 2024 season thanks to the excellence of the recruit QB Jayden Daniels.
Shortly after the agreement, the social media account of commanders tweeted a Deebo GIF of the film “Friday”. You can connect the points from there.
On Samuel’s Instagram account, he said: “Enjoy everything !!!!!”
Why a single choice of fifth round for Deebo Samuel Sr.?
Samuel, 29, was a versatile weapon for the 49ers, although his statistics fell in 2024. He had 51 catches for 670 yards and only three TDS receiving, with 42 soldier’s attempts for 136 yards and a TD. These figures are probably a great reason why Samuel only commanded a choice of fifth round in return from Washington.
Its production in 2024 was considerably declining the previous seasons. The best year of Samuel was 2021, when he had 77 catches for 1405 yards and ran 59 times for 365 yards and eight scores. After the 2022 season, Samuel signed a three -year agreement with the 49ers which included more than $ 58 million guaranteed.
Given his age and the situation of the 49ers wage ceiling, a long -term agreement in San Francisco seemed to be long after the expiration of his contract after the 2025 season. The 49ers must sign QB Brock Purdy to a contract extension. His new salary will probably be proportional to many more paid quarter-rear in the NFL.
By Adam Schefter d’EspnWashington takes the rest of Samuel’s contract and pays his full salary of $ 17.55 million for next season. Samuel will have more than $ 31 million in dead money against the 49ers wage ceiling in 2025, but he will be completely out of the books in 2026. This three -year agreement contained four years of vacuum that would have counted against the 49ers ceiling he had left after the 2025 season.
How this movement could help commanders
The commanders made a huge jump in 2024 after taking Daniels at n ° 2 in the draft of the NFL 2024. He launched for more than 3,500 yards and 25 affected while directing the team with 891 yards on the ground. The commanders finished second behind the Eagles in the NFC East before beating the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay in the Tour of the Joker.
Washington then withdrew the upheaval of the NFL qualifiers when he shot the Detroit lions to the head of the division. Commanders beat Lions 45-31 while Daniels launched 299 yards and two scores while rushing for 51 yards.
Now Washington hopes that Samuel will be able to return to the form he has shown in previous seasons while the team is trying to make a super bowl with Daniels on his recruit. Even if he does not do it, it is always a low risk bet for the franchise.
