Deebo Samuel’s time with the San Francisco 49ers is over. The 49ers are trading Samuel to the Washington Commanders. The Niners will receive a fifth-round pick in return, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is set to join the Commanders in a trade once the new league year is underway and he penned a lengthy farewell to the 49ers on Thursday.

Receiver Deebo Samuel called his departure from San Francisco "bittersweet" but said Washington was always one of his preferred destinations after requesting a trade from the 49ers in part because of quarterback Jayden Daniels.
