Commanders acquire star wideout Deebo Samuel in trade with 49ers

Deebo Samuel’s time in San Francisco is over.

The 49ers agreed to trade the star wide receiver to the Commanders in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick, according to multiple reports.

Samuel revealed earlier in February that he requested a trade, and the 49ers were willing to allow it.

“It was a hard conversation to have with [head coach Kyle Shanahan] because of the relationship that we have,” Samuel told ESPN last month. “But I have to do what’s best. I’m more than thankful for the Niners giving me the opportunity of a lifetime but now I think it’s best that we find another team.”

The 29-year-old Samuel now gets his wish.

In Washington, he’ll play alongside two-time Pro Bowl wideout Terry McLaurin with AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels under center.

This is a developing story.
