"One of the higher-profile names is Deebo Samuel Sr. The Commanders gave up a fifth-round selection to the San Francisco 49ers for the versatile wide receiver during the offseason. Peters knew what he could bring to the table with renewed focus, and he was right. He was the one constant amid the constant turmoil, although it's also clear that his days of All-Pro-caliber production are over."
"And while [Deebo] Samuel has never put together a full healthy season as a pro, he did manage to play 16 games for the second time in his seven-year career this season. There's a useful player here, but Samuel's injury history, problems holding on to the football and age (he turns 30 in January) will limit his market. It would be surprising if Samuel landed a multiyear guarantee,"
Adam Peters must evaluate which free agents to retain as the Washington Commanders undertake another significant roster overhaul. Deebo Samuel Sr., acquired for a fifth-round pick, provided versatility and consistent presence amid team turmoil but appears past peak All‑Pro production. Samuel is out of contract and likely seeking his last opportunity for a meaningful long-term deal. Age (turning 30), a history of injuries, and recurring problems holding the football will constrain his market and bargaining leverage. Projections indicate limited interest for multiyear guarantees and expect Samuel to accept a pay cut from his $17.5 million salary.
