Before the trade, the Commanders were listed with $81.9 million in cap space, per Over the Cap.
Samuel has a cap number of $15.9 million in 2025. Barring a restructured contract or extension, Washington will have around $66 million in remaining cap space.
Samuel becomes the No. 2 wideout in Washington, a versatile weapon for reigning Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year and quarterback Jayden Daniels to find.
The 29-year-old broke out in 2021, earning First-Team All-Pro honors with 1,770 total yards and 14 touchdowns. He hasn't found that success since, posting a 17-game average of 66 catches, 867 yards and five touchdowns from 2022-2024, per Pro Football Reference.
However, he has a path to experiencing a career renaissance in Washington, which just enjoyed a 12-win season and its first NFC Championship Game appearance since 1991. The offense ranked fifth in scoring last season, and now it adds a dynamic talent to complement the stars already on the field.
Overall, this looks like a great pickup for the Commanders, and the team still has a ton of cap space to work with as it looks toward fighting for its first Super Bowl in 34 years.
