"Adam Peters had faith in Deebo Samuel Sr. when almost everyone else had written him off. The Washington Commanders have been rewarded with a renaissance start to the 2025 season from the wide receiver. Samuel heard all the criticism. Accusations of not being locked in and poor conditioning were rife during his final season with the San Francisco 49ers. The versatile offensive weapon showed up in Washington with renewed focus, determined to turn the tide and silence his doubters."
"This is precisely what the Commanders had in mind when they sent a fifth-round pick to the Niners. However, it has presented Peters with a possible headache if the same trend continues. Commanders heading for a contract collision with Deebo Samuel Sr. The Commanders got Samuel on the relative cheap in part because he is out of contract next spring. San Francisco had no intention of keeping him around beyond 2025, so they got what they could while they could."
Adam Peters trusted Deebo Samuel Sr. when others doubted, and Samuel responded with a renaissance start to the 2025 season for the Washington Commanders. Samuel faced criticism for alleged poor conditioning and lack of focus during his final season with the San Francisco 49ers, but he arrived in Washington with renewed focus and determination. The Commanders acquired him for a fifth-round pick in part because he is out of contract after 2025. Samuel is on pace for over 1,000 all-purpose yards, which would make retaining him expensive. The Commanders project significant cap space, but extensions for other key players could complicate future contract decisions.
