Deebo Samuel has a new house.
THE Washington Commanders have acquired the wide starred receiver of the 49ers of San Francisco In exchange for a choice of fifth round, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reported on Saturday.
Samuel was withdrawn from three years from his career year in 2021, when he was appointed First Team All-Pro. Last season, he obtained 51 receptions for 670 reception yards and three affected in 15 games for 6-11 49ers, adding 136 yards on the ground and a precipitation score.
Although Samuel, 29, is not the player he was in the past, the move reinforces the depth of the commanders to the wide receiver and gives Jayden Daniels Another out-of-contests. In 2024, Terry McLaurin was Washington’s only wide receiver to have at least 50 receptions, 600 reception yards and five affected. END Zach Ertz had 66 receptions for 654 yards and seven affected, and wide receiver OLAMIDE ZACCHEAUS was third of the team in these three statistics (45 receptions for 504 reception yards). Only one other commanders had several receptions affected in 2024 (Jamison Crowder with two).
However, Daniels has undoubtedly had the best recruit season of all time by a quarter. He launched for 3,568 yards, 25 affected and nine interceptions to go with 891 yards on the ground and six affected on the ground. Daniels led the commanders to a 12-5 record in regular season and two victories upset in playoffs before Washington Philadelphia Eagles In the NFC championship match.
As for the 49ers, they gave Samuel the permission to ask for a job earlier during the offseason. They will take $ 31,550,012 in dead against the salary ceiling this year, but they will still have around $ 50 million in ceiling space, according to the ceiling. They selected the wide receiver Ricky Pearsall During the first round of last year’s draft and gave Brandon Aiyuk An extension of $ 120 million over four years last August, leading to speculations that the days of Samuel in San Francisco were counted.
Samuel has a season to play on his contract, holding a ceiling of $ 17.5 million. However, none of these money is guaranteed, which could possibly lead to an extension with Washington this offseason. Commanders had around $ 81 million in ceiling space during the offseason, according to the ceiling.
