The Washington Commanders made a splash this offseason by trading a mere fifth-round pick for Deebo Samuel, aiming to supercharge their offense. After a lackluster 2024, Samuel is eager to prove his doubters wrong, reuniting with Wes Welker, who once helped him reach All-Pro heights. Paired with Terry McLaurin, Samuel's dynamic playmaking could transform the Commanders' passing game, especially with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels at the helm. While the 49ers absorbed a hefty $34 million in dead money, Washington sees Samuel as a low-risk, high-reward gamble. If he regains form, the Commanders could be on the brink of something special in 2025.
