Overview

• San Francisco sent Deebo Samuel to Washington on March 1 for a 2025 fifth-round pick in a move driven by salary-cap considerations.
• On the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, Purdy called the trade “sucks” and hailed Samuel as his “boy” for believing in him during his 2022 rookie rise.
• Purdy signed a five-year, $265 million extension on May 16 and declared himself a top-10 quarterback as he prepares to reshape the offense.
• With Samuel and injured receiver Brandon Aiyuk unavailable, Purdy plans to lean on Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall, Demarcus Robinson and rookie Jordan Watkins.
• Samuel joins the Commanders on a one-year, $17.5 million deal and Purdy said he expects his former teammate to play with a “chip on his shoulder” in 2025.
