• 49ers' Deebo Samuel: Goes through full practice Saturday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Samuel was a full participant in Saturday's training camp practice, his first since signing with the 49ers on Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. General manager John Lynch relayed to reporters before Saturday's practice that Samuel is in "really good shape," and the veteran wideout backed up that endorsement with a strong practice Saturday. The addition of Samuel is a timely one, given that Ricky Pearsall is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery over the next couple of weeks to repair a PCL injury in his right knee. Samuel figures to slide in as the 49ers' WR3 behind Mike Evans and Christian Kirk (calf), with De'Zhaun Stribling (hamstring) also competing for consistent snaps on offense.

• 49ers' Deebo Samuel: Back in San Francisco

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Samuel and the 49ers agreed on a one-year, $7 million contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Samuel will return to San Francisco after spending the 2025 campaign with the Commanders, with whom he reeled in 72 of 99 targets for 727 yards and five touchdowns while also adding 75 yards and a score over 17 carries in 16 regular-season contests. The wide receiver spent the first six seasons of his NFL career in Kyle Shanahan's offense with the 49ers, and he likely will have no problem fitting right back in. The 49ers are concerned about the availability of Ricky Pearsall (knee) in 2026, while free-agent addition Christian Kirk is dealing with a calf injury early in training camp. The team added veteran Mike Evans in free agency, and he'll enter the 2026 campaign as the team's No. 1 wide receiver. After Evans, Samuel will compete with Pearsall (if available), Kirk and rookie second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling for touches in the WR room.

• Deebo Samuel: Remains unsigned

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Samuel, who remains a free agent, is gearing up to play this season, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports. As long as he remains unsigned, Samuel remains a speculative fantasy option. However, with several NFL teams in need of veteran wideout depth, the 30-year-old figures to catch on somewhere before Week 1, and where he lands will determine his weekly lineup upside. Samuel, who believes that at this stage of his career that he has "at least like three, four good years left," is coming off a 2025 regular season with the Commanders in which he caught 72 of his 99 targets for 727 yards and five TDs while also carrying the ball 17 times for 75 yards and a score in 16 games.

• Deebo Samuel: Among best remaining free agent WRs

  06/23/2026 • By RotoWire

  Samuel is among the remaining veteran free agents the Raiders could consider signing to bolster their wide receiver corps, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter. There are a number of other big-name WR options who remain unsigned as well, including Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill, DeAndre Hopkins and Keenan Allen. Ahead of training camp, Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton lead an unproven Las Vegas receiving corps, and adding a veteran like Samuel to the mix could make sense for an offense that will eventually be helmed by 2026 first overall pick Fernando Mendoza. In 16 regular-season contests with the Commanders in 2025, Samuel brought in 72 of his 99 targets for 727 yards and five TDs, while also carrying the ball 17 times for 75 yards and a score.

• Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Two catches in victory

  01/05/2026 • By RotoWire

  Samuel caught two of five targets for 20 yards and rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles. Samuel was held to two catches for the second straight week, while his 20 receiving yards were his fewest since Week 8. The wide receiver completed his regular season having caught 72 of 99 targets for 727 yards and five touchdowns while also turning 17 carries into 75 yards and a score over 16 contests. Samuel will enter the offseason as a free agent, and he proved he's still got plenty left in the tank, recording his most receptions since the 2021 campaign.
