Deebo Samuel had a list of five teams he was open to getting moved to when he requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers—including the Washington Commanders, who he was ultimately traded to earlier this month for a fifth-round pick.

Deebo Samuel said the Commanders are getting "a very motivated player" after trading for him and reworking his contract.

After the Washington Commanders traded for him, then guaranteed the last year of his contract, receiver Deebo Samuel said he wants to repay them for believing in him. "They put this much trust in me," Samuel said.
