WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Commanders have acquired wide receiver Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers for a fifth-round pick, pending a physical, according to a person with knowledge of the trade.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the trade cannot be official until the start of the new league year on March 12. NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport first reported the deal.
Samuel, who turned 29 last month, gives the Commanders another playmaker to pair with Terry McLaurin for quarterback Jayden Daniels going into his second NFL season. Samuel had 51 catches for 670 yards and three touchdowns last season with the 49ers.
Washington reached the NFC championship game before losing to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. General manager Adam Peters went into the offseason with the third-most salary cap space to use among 32 teams.
Some of that is going to Samuel, who in 2022 signed a three-year extension that goes through next season. The South Carolina product has 334 receptions for 4,792 yards and 22 TDs since making his debut for the 49ers in 2019.

Commanders now just need an elite RB and slightly better Defense and will be tough to beat.
Once Kyler Murray is gone. That's when the Cardinals will once again start the rebuild over.
If have actually noticed. The Cardinals have been giving Kyler Murray what he wants (MHJ, Hollywood, Hopkins, Green). They haven't given Kyler Murray what he actually needs(QB COACH, Linemen).
However, what Kyler Murray needs will not help either. That's because if you honestly look at his play. Kyler Murray is uncoachable. Because of his extremely erratic toddler like play style. There is not an O-Line that can help.
The Cardinals "new regime" already knows this. That's why, just like a little annoying toddler that won't shut up. They give Kyler Murray what he wants. Just to shut him up. Again, that's why there are articles that say that Kyler Murray is going back to his "old style" of playing. That's because Kyler Murray is UNCOACHABLE.
If Cardinals don't make big splashes this off season then we know the franchise wasn't rebuilding
