The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to send former All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a fifth-round pick.
Talks between the 49ers and Commanders really ramped up in the last 24 hours, according to FOX Sports’s Jordan Schultz, as Washington wanted to add another weapon alongside Terry McLaurin for Jayden Daniels.
Other teams reported to be in the mix were the Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, and Pittsburgh Steelers, but the Commanders were the clear front-runner and shored up a major hole with the addition of Samuel.
Kyle’s update, 4:12 pm PT: Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Washington agreed to take on the remainder of Deebo’s contract.
