"Throw [Deebo] Samuel, a rugged slot whose best days are admittedly behind him, into the equation to give Bryce Young another option. The Panthers enjoyed some surprising success in 2025, which should only prompt them to continue accruing talent, especially for an offense that, depending on the week, was either explosive or forgot to board the bus to the stadium."
"They might have a tough time fitting Samuel's expected cost (roughly $15 million, per Spotrac) into their cap situation, but there are ways to make it work if the fit makes sense."
The Washington Commanders have made only minor moves at wide receiver during free agency, signing Dyami Brown, Van Jefferson Jr., and Treylon Burks. Existing receivers Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey, and Jaylin Lane remain on the roster, but the team needs additional talent. Deebo Samuel Sr. remains unsigned and available on the market. The Carolina Panthers have emerged as a potential suitor for Samuel, offering a homecoming to his native South Carolina. Samuel's expected cost is approximately $15 million annually. The Commanders must act decisively to retain Samuel before other teams capitalize on his availability.
