The San Francisco 49ers are trading wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Commanders for a fifth-round draft pick. Samuel, who will receive $21.7M this year, is now headed to play with quarterback Jayden Daniels.
This is a significant move that is sure to shake up the NFL landscape. Samuel is a dynamic playmaker who can line up all over the field and make game-changing plays both as a receiver and a runner.
Washington’s acquisition of Samuel gives their offense a much-needed boost and provides quarterback Jayden Daniels with a reliable and explosive weapon in the passing game. Samuel’s ability to create yards after the catch and break tackles will add a new dimension to Washington’s offense, and make them a more dangerous unit overall.
When he gets the ball, especially on the run, Deebo is a monster, and trucks people in the open field. He also has tremendous run vision when the ball is in his hands.
Samuel is known for turning a six-yard pass into a 40-yard gain. He also is a terror when it comes to blocking, which is a skill that all receivers on the Commanders must possess.
His skill set is exactly what they are looking for to complement wide receiver Terry McLaurin. He is a similar player to Terry but has a bit of a bigger body, and he plays and runs angrily.
Samuel had a bad season last year, even though the 49ers were dealing with injuries involving wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and running back Christian McCaffrey. He has been on a steady decline since his outrageous 2021 season.
Deebo is without a doubt better than any WR2 currently on the Washington offense and his upside greatly increases Washington’s offensive options. That means Washington can continue to play no-huddle, up-tempo, and have more options when he is on the field.
