Deebo Samuel Returns to the 49ers on a 1-Year Deal Worth up to $7M, AP Source Says
The former All-Pro returns after one season in Washington, where he caught 72 passes and scored five touchdowns, sources said.
- On Thursday, the San Francisco 49ers signed former NFL All-Pro Deebo Samuel to a one-year, $7 million contract, reuniting the receiver with the organization that drafted him in 2019, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
- San Francisco pursued the reunion after Ricky Pearsall suffered a knee injury related to a previous PCL issue. Veteran Christian Kirk also deals with a calf strain, leaving the receiving corps thin.
- During his lone year with the Washington Commanders, Samuel led the team with 72 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns after being traded for a fifth-round pick.
- Samuel established himself as a versatile weapon for the Niners before the trade, earning All-Pro honors in 2021 with 1,770 yards from scrimmage. He has recorded 406 career receptions for 5,519 yards and 27 touchdowns.
- Returning to the team at age 30, Samuel joins a receiver group that includes veteran Mike Evans and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling. He provides immediate reinforcement for San Francisco as training camp begins.
