The Washington Commanders did not give up much in the trade for Deebo Samuel.<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Washington Commanders traded with the San Francisco 49ers back in March to acquire star wide receiver Deebo Samuel.<\/p>\n

And it seems the deal is already paying off.<\/p>\n

According to multiple reports, the seventh-year veteran wideout has been impressing so far in OTAs, which makes the price that the Commanders paid for him even more ridiculous.<\/p>\n

Acquiring a player like Samuel, one would expect to pay a pretty hefty price, but the only thing that Washington sent the Niners was a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which they then used on Oregon running back Jordan James.<\/p>\n

So apparently, one of the better wide receivers in the NFL is worth a rookie running back who is currently RB3 on the 49ers’ depth chart.<\/p>\n

Obviously, there are other factors involved. Money. Age. Injury. Attitude.<\/p>\n

But …<\/p>\n

No matter how little they paid for him, the Commanders are happy that they have a player of Samuel’s caliber for their superstar quarterback to throw to. Jayden Daniels had a spectacular rookie season in 2024, so having upgraded weapons will make him that much scarier.<\/p>\n

Samuel finished this past season with 670 yards and three touchdowns, which is not bad considering he missed a couple of games due to a calf injury.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old receiver seemed read for a fresh start somewhere other than San Francisco, and the Commanders are more than willing to give that to him. He will be looking to help the team contend in a strong NFC East with the likes of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n
