The San Francisco 49ers agree to terms with former wide receiver Deebo Samuel on a one-year contract worth up to $7 million, with Samuel confirming the deal on social media. Multiple reports say the agreement is finalized and that Samuel is returning to the team after spending the previous season with the Washington Commanders.
The reports describe the contract as a second stint for Samuel and present it as a response to early issues in San Francisco’s receiving corps. One report says the timing aligns with Ricky Pearsall being sidelined by a knee injury, while another notes that injuries at wide receiver begin to pile up during training camp. Yahoo Sports and other outlets cite NFL Network as a source for the agreement’s details. Some outlets also discuss reported ongoing discussions ahead of the announcement, including commentary about how the reunion process may have been in motion earlier than it appeared.
Across coverage, the key points focus on the contract length and value, Samuel’s return to San Francisco, and the context of roster needs at wide receiver.
