The San Francisco 49ers have signed former All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel to a one-year deal worth up to $7 million, according to ESPN. This move comes after Ricky Pearsall suffered a knee injury, creating a void in the team’s receiving corps.
Samuel’s NFL Career
Samuel was drafted by the 49ers in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft and spent the first six years of his career with the team. He helped the 49ers reach the Super Bowl twice and earned All-Pro honors in 2021.
Samuel was traded to Washington in 2025 and had 72 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns for the Commanders last season. He became a free agent in March and will now return to the 49ers to provide reinforcement with Pearsall out.
