"Bickel explained that Samuel was apparently loved in Washington's building, and argued that the team could still use his playmaking. The radio host expressed how Samuel has a contiguous positivity to him, energizing the entire team with the plays he makes. Washington could benefit from both the plays and the energy, so the franchise should explore re-signing the receiver."
"The Commanders traded a fifth-round pick for Samuel last offseason, and the wideout only had one year left on his contract. Playing that year out in Washington, Samuel had a productive season, despite the team as a whole underwhelming. In 16 games, he caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns, while also adding 75 rushing yards and one additional touchdown on the ground."
"Samuel was even a special teams contributor, returning 15 kicks for 452 yards. Now, the veteran is still a free agent, and Washington has a wide receiver room that could use some more help. Of course, the team has Terry McLaurin, and the franchise drafted Antonio Williams out of Clemson in the third round, but the group as a whole remains the team's "
The Washington Commanders are working to move past a 5-12 season and return to the level that reached the NFC Championship game in 2024. Health and new additions are viewed as important, but further roster moves are still considered necessary. Deebo Samuel is suggested as a target because he was reportedly well-liked in Washington’s building and could provide playmaking that energizes the team. Samuel previously played for Washington after being acquired with a fifth-round pick and producing in 16 games with 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns, plus rushing production and special teams kick returns. He remains a free agent, and Washington’s receiver group is seen as needing additional help alongside Terry McLaurin and Antonio Williams.
