The Washington Commanders have taken a massive step forward in building an elite offense by acquiring Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers. The trade won’t be made official until the League’s new year stars on  March 12th.

Samuel joins a team powered by rising star quarterback and 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels, whose rookie season in 2024 was nothing short of spectacular. Daniels threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns while limiting his mistakes to just 9 interceptions. Beyond his passing skills, he showcased his dual-threat ability with 891 rushing yards and 6 rushing touchdowns. That level of versatility makes the addition of Deebo Samuel all the more potent.

Deebo mirrors Daniels’ multifaceted talent with a dual-threat impact of his own. Last season, Samuel hauled in 51 catches for 670 yards and three touchdowns, showing his ability to make big plays as a receiver. But he also added 136 rushing yards and a touchdown on 42 carries. His unique skill set forces defenses to guess where his next move will come from, whether it’s in the air, on the ground, or even lining up in an unconventional role.

Now paired with Daniels, Samuel provides the young quarterback with a dynamic weapon who can turn short throws into huge gains or execute clever rushing plays designed to exploit defenses. Alongside established talents like Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson, the Commanders’ offense now boasts a trio of playmakers perfectly suited to leverage Daniels’ abilities.

This trade signals Washington’s commitment to elevating its game in the highly competitive NFC East. With a dual-threat quarterback in Daniels and a versatile star like Samuel, the Commanders aren’t just aiming for playoff contention—they’re setting their sights on making noise deep into the postseason. Commanders fans, get ready for an electric season as this new offensive duo takes the field in 2025.
