Deebo Samuel contract: What will extending the receiver cost the Commanders?

The Washington Commanders were one of the surprise teams of the 2024 season, riding a strong rookie campaign from quarterback Jayden Daniels into an NFC Championship Game appearance.

Now, looking to capitalize on Daniels’ rookie contract, the Commanders are pushing their chips forward in hopes of contending once again in 2024.

Bolstering their receiving corps, they traded a Day 3 pick for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel back in March, giving Terry McLaurin a strong No. 2 to work with.

Samuel, 29, caught just 51 passes for 670 yards and three touchdowns in 2024, while rushing for a career-low 3.
