49ers Deal Deebo Samuel to Commanders: Pays 3-1 Odds

SportsBetting.ag posted Deebo's next team odds just a few weeks ago to great fanfare.

Putting Samuel in the Washington offense with Jayden Daniels and Kliff Kingsbury was the favored scenario and on Saturday March 1 was set to pay out $300 for every $100 bet.

The Chargers, Panthers (Deebo from South Carolina), Broncos and Patriots rounded out the Top 5 ahead of Saturday's big news.

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 other trade agreed to now, this deal cannot be processed until the new league year begins on March 12. As part of the deal, 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.

For the Commanders, they've added another weapon for quarterback Jayden Daniels, trading for a former All-Pro receiver. The move ended an often-productive but at times tumultuous six-year run for Samuel with San Francisco.

San Francisco will absorb a $31,550,012 dead money hit on this year's salary cap. Samuel, who has one year remaining on his contract, will count $17.5 million on Washington's salary cap. It's possible the Commanders extend his deal.
