Deebo Samuel Returns to 49ers on One-Year Deal

Deebo Samuel has agreed to a one‑year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, a deal worth up to $7 million.

Samuel returned to the 49ers for a one‑year, up to $7 million deal after a 2024 stint with Washington, where he recorded 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns. The franchise has retooled its receiving corps with veteran signings Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, and the draft pick of De’Zhaun Stribling, while bringing back Samuel as a proven commodity to counter concerns over injured Ricky Pearsall. moryak.biz

During his six seasons with San Francisco, Samuel tallied 334 receptions, 4,792 yards, and 22 receiving touchdowns, in addition to 1,143 rushing yards and 20 rushing scores. The reunion with coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy aims to re‑ignite the team’s offensive potency and compete for the NFC West title.
