The Washington Commanders have made a splash at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.
Washington is acquiring San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel in exchange for a fifth-round pick, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday, per sources.

Deebo had worse depreciation than a Maserati.
Might work out well for him and the Redskins.
Detroit has had a lot of success bringing guys from other teams that seemed in a slump.
A new start sometimes does that.
"Speaking of football players, take my wide receiver Deebo. Please."
His best years are far behind him
That’s more than I thought they would get. To unload his contract, I thought they would have to trade something like Deebo plus a 5th to get back a 7th.
Couldn’t hurt...The Deadskins ranked near the bottom in receiving yards last season.
I miss the Redskins. I hate the Communists.
I always root for the Washington Football Team to lose, no matter who they are playing.
There’s a reason why wide receivers are often divas. The players ultimately have the upper hand. They need upfront guaranteed money to guard against injury. Then there’s the motivation factor once the money is guaranteed. It’s like a welfare recipient.
The 49ers now have the Same problem with their other receiver Aiuk. Then there’s 37 year old Trent Williams, offensive tackle. Smart teams will let go of their good players before falling into that trap.
Nick Bosa hasn’t lived up to his contract either.
Deebo turned 29 years old in January 2025.
Interesting physical stats - 6' 0" - 215 pounds
Frequently lines up as a running back - has more rushing yards than any other wide receiver in NFL history - also returns punts and kick offs.
Stays healthy - started almost every game, plus all post season games - missed nine games in 2020 because of Covid.
One elite season - 2021 - #1 in Receiving Average - 18.2 yards per catch - rushed for 364 yards - signed three year contract - $58.1 million guaranteed.
Above average stats every other year, except Covid year.
2025 will be a contract year - always hard to figure out contract value and contract length for someone in a speed position who will turn 30 next January.
Commanders owner Josh Harris has expressed support for a name reversal since he took over the team last year.
Time will tell. :)
Same here. I refuse to call them the C-word.
There, fixed it.
Deebo does not get open. Too many of his receptions are forward laterals or screen passes behind the LOS. Then there’s the taking plays off and 20 extra pounds he carried. Sounds like he needs his butt kissed to get motivated.
Live and learn. Trade these folks before their head gets too big.
This will work out for the Commanders pretty much like Trey Lance did for the Cowboys.
May the Creator of all nations make it so!
I live in TN so I’m a Titan fan. What’s a wide receiver? 😶
Since I live just south of Nashville, I can’t say it without saying “Commadores”.
