Deebo Samuel’s time in San Francisco is over. 

The 49ers agreed to trade the star wide receiver to the Commanders in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick, according to multiple reports. 

Samuel revealed earlier in February that he requested a trade, and the 49ers were willing to allow it.

“It was a hard conversation to have with [head coach Kyle Shanahan] because of the relationship that we have,” Samuel told ESPN last month. “But I have to do what’s best. I’m more than thankful for the Niners giving me the opportunity of a lifetime but now I think it’s best that we find another team.”

The 29-year-old Samuel now gets his wish. 

In Washington, he’ll play alongside two-time Pro Bowl wideout Terry McLaurin with AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels under center.
