The Washington Commanders traded for Deebo Samuel before this season knowing he had only one year remaining on his contract.
That's going to create a fascinating free agent situation in the upcoming offseason.
And on Christmas, Samuel reminded people of how much he can be worth.
Watch how the talented WR finished this play:
Deebo running TOUGH.

That's a guy who a team could choose to sign this offseason.
But for what?
ESPN's Ben Solak wrote this on X:
"Truly fascinated by Deebo's free agent market this offseason. He's looked markedly faster this year than 2024 with the 49ers. Low volume/lower contact role is keeping him fresh."
Samuel is playing hard late in the season even though the Commanders have nothing to play for as a team. He has plenty to play for as an individual.
Someone might get a unique, talented player in free agency. But who, and for how much? We'll have to wait and see.
