Deebo Samuel remains without a team following his departure from the Washington Commanders after a mixed 2025 season. NFL insider Mike Florio noted the lack of interest in Samuel, questioning his contract demands and recent performance. Samuel played 16 games last year, recording 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns. The Commanders are shifting focus toward younger talent at the receiver position, with Luke McCaffrey and Antonio Williams poised to step up. A return to the team is possible but currently seems unlikely as they prepare for the 2026 campaign.
