The Washington Commanders and newly acquired Deebo Samuel agreed on a one-year renegotiated deal that guarantees the wide receiver $17 million, ESPN reported Wednesday.
The Commanders also added another $3 million in incentives, per the report.
The Commanders acquired Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers earlier this month in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. The trade became official on March 12, the start of the new league year.
Samuel, 29, had been set to make a base salary of $16.6 million in 2025 with no money guaranteed prior to the reworked deal, per the report.
Samuel dealt with rib and calf injuries in 2024 but played in 15 games, all starts. He tallied 51 catches for 670 yards, added 42 carries for 136 yards and scored four touchdowns.
He had 334 receptions for 4,792 yards and 1,143 rushing yards with 42 touchdowns in 81 career games (73 starts) with the 49ers, who selected him in the second round of the 2019 draft. He earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro first-team honors in 2021.
