"When the Washington Commanders made a daring trade for wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., it was met with skepticism by fans and the media. The San Francisco 49ers ate more than $31 million in dead cap money to remove him from the equation. That was the clear sign that the NFC West club considered him a spent force. A departure seemed inevitable, but the Commanders held a different opinion."
"I love Deebo. One of my favorite teammates of all time. He's got the aura. He's got the persona. He hits people. He makes all the superstar plays. I love him to death. Sometimes guys need a fresh start and I think that's what he wanted. He wanted a change of scenery and I respect that. It is what it is. I got great years out of Deebo and have a great relationship with him. I love him for it. George Kittle via Clutch Points"
The Washington Commanders traded for Deebo Samuel despite skepticism and criticism about conditioning, attitude, and a special-teams spat. The San Francisco 49ers absorbed more than $31 million in dead cap to move on. The Commanders exchanged a fifth-round pick because they believed Samuel still offered high value. Samuel produced an outstanding season under challenging circumstances, adjusted well to a new environment, and strengthened his prospects for another contract. Former teammate George Kittle praised Samuel as a fantastic teammate who wanted a fresh start and remained missed by his former team.
