The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to send standout wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a fifth-round pick, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday night.
Like any trade agreed to now, this deal cannot be processed until the new league year begins March 12. As part of the trade, Washington is taking on the remainder of Samuel’s contract and paying his full $17.55 million salary for the 2025 season, sources told Schefter.
Defensive tackle Jonathan Allen was part of the trade discussion between the Commanders and 49ers this week as they executed the Samuel deal, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler later Saturday. Ultimately, Allen, who is due $16.4 million, was not included.
