“They’re getting a motivated Deebo,” Samuel said of the Commanders Thursday in his introductory video conference with reporters via the Associated Press. “I’m very motivated. I’m just ready to get back to work. I’m just ready to get around a group of guys, meet with the players and we just go from there.”
Samuel was admittedly overweight last season, had sideline outbursts and complained about his usage in Kyle Shanahan’s offense. Following the trade, the 29-year-old is out to show he’s still a playmaking force.
The Commanders showed their faith by guaranteeing his $17 million salary and adding $3 million more in incentives.
