Report: Commanders acquire WR Samuel from 49ers
Published
The San Francisco 49ers have traded star wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a fifth-round pick, as reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Samuel had previously requested a trade out of San Francisco earlier in the off-season.
The 29-year-old pass-catcher played six seasons with the 49ers after they drafted him out of South Carolina in the second round of the 2019 draft.
Samuel recorded 334 receptions for 4,972 yards and 20 touchdowns in his time with San Francisco, helping the team to two Super Bowl appearances in 2019 and 2024.
He was named a first-team All-Pro in 2021 and represented the 49ers at the Pro Bowl that same season. He will now help form a formidable offence run by reigning Rookie of the Year, Jayden Daniels.
