The San Francisco 49ers are bringing back 1 of their best wide receivers in recent memory after just 1 year away, signing former NFL All-Pro Deebo Samuel to a 1-year, $7 million contract.

Samuel was traded from the 49ers to the Washington Commanders before the 2025 season.

“Reunion: Free agent WR Deebo Samuel is signing back with the #49ers, sources say. The former #Commanders and SF pass-catcher returns where it all began,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote on his official X account on Thursday night. “From 2019-2024, Deebo Samuel became a star in SF with Kyle Shanahanâs offense. Now, after a year in Washington, heâs back.”

Samuel is the only wide receiver in NFL history with at least 20 receiving touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns.

ESPN put Samuel at No. 5 on its list of the NFLâs âTop Available Free Agentsâ just 1 month from the start of training camp.

âSamuel caught 72 passes and scored five touchdowns in his one season with the Commanders, with 63.7% of his receiving totals coming after the catch,â ESPNâs Matt Bowen wrote. âA power strider, he would benefit from a system that allows him to get loose on catch-and-run targets.â
