The Washington Commanders have made a big move before free agency opens by trading for Deebo Samuel to pair him with Terry McLaurin in the hopes of making a Super Bowl push

A year ago, the Washington Commanders came to the NFL combine starting a rebuild under the new regime of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn. A year later, the Commanders return fresh off an appearance in the NFC championship game and looking for players to add to a team that has launched itself into Super Bowl contention.

In their second major trade in four months, the Washington Commanders agreed to acquire former all-pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers for a 2025 fifth-round draft pick, two people with knowledge of the deal said Saturday night.
