Washington Commanders Outlook Following Shocking Deebo Samuel Trade

The Washington Commanders shocked the NFL world by trading for San Francisco 49ers Wide Receiver Deebo Samuel late Saturday night.

Washington only needed to surrender a fifth-round pick for Samuel to come to Washington.

Samuels arrival gives the Washington Commanders one of the leagues most potent offenses.

Samuel joins a Commanders offense that includes Rookie of the Year Quarterback Jayden Daniels , Running Back Brian Robinson Jr., Wide Receiver Terry McLaurin, and Tight End Zach Ertz.

Washingtons offense was great during the regular season but improved during the NFL Playoffs.

The offenses performances helped propel the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles .

Unfortunately, their run ended there as the Eagles dominated them 55-23.

Adding Samuel made the teams offense stronger.

The Commandeers were reportedly looking to give Daniels another weapon heading into his sophomore season, and Samuel fits that bill.

Washingtons offense should be even better in 2025.

The Commanders must still address their defense this offseason.

Washingtons defense surrendered over 35 points per game during the NFL Playoffs .

Luckily for them, the offense could overcome a poor defensive performance.

The team will reportedly also look to trade Defensive Tackle Jonathan Allen this offseason.

Allen was discussed as part of the package going back to the San Francisco 49rs in the Samuel deal.

Allen was ultimately not included in the trade as the Washington Commanders will continue trying to trade the defender.

Final Thoughts Samuel will only improve Washingtons offense in 2025.

Even though he is not coming off a strong season, the change of scenery could work wonders for the former All-Pro.

After being one of the leagues most surprising teams, the arrow is pointing up for the franchise.
