"With free agency just a few short weeks away, the Commanders have some big decisions to make. They have the most pending free agents anywhere in the league, and could have north of $100 million in salary-cap space once additional moves are made. Not everyone will be let go, but whether their plans for the future include Samuel remains to be seen."
""The same player who once led the league at 18.2 yards per catch averaged a career-low 10.1 in 2025, and the versatile playmaker who once rushed for 365 yards and eight touchdowns was barely used as a ballcarrier, getting 75 yards and a single score. Can a creative offensive mind get more out of his skill set? Perhaps, but it's likely he'll get less this time around, closer to $12-14 million a year.""
Deebo Samuel faces an uncertain contract situation as the Commanders approach free agency while managing the largest group of pending departures in the league. Washington could create over $100 million in salary-cap space, forcing prioritization of which veterans to retain. Samuel likely seeks a final lucrative long-term extension, while the team must evaluate his fit in David Blough's offense and the price Adam Peters will demand. Interest from teams such as the Raiders and Chargers could emerge, and recent declines in receiving and rushing production may push his market value toward $12–14 million per season.
