49ers reportedly trading Deebo Samuel Sr. to Commanders for 5th-round pick
Deebo Samuel's trade request has been granted.
The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver is heading to the Washington Commanders for a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network and other media reports.
The trade agreement comes days after 49ers general manager John Lynch said the team would honor Samuel's request for a trade and see if there were any trade partners available. Washington was a willing one after making the NFC title game during the 2024 season thanks to the excellence of rookie QB Jayden Daniels.
Not long after the deal was reported, the Commanders' social media account tweeted out a GIF of Deebo from the movie "Friday." You can connect the dots from there.
