The Washington Commanders just got a lot more dangerous, and that’s something the Detroit Lions will have to deal with in 2025. After knocking the Lions out of the playoffs in a stunning 45-31 upset, Washington has now added a major offensive weapon—Deebo Samuel.
The Commanders acquired the versatile wideout from the 49ers for a fifth-round pick, giving quarterback Jayden Daniels another dynamic playmaker alongside Terry McLaurin and Dyami Brown. While Samuel’s production dipped last season (51 catches, 670 yards, 3 TDs), his ability to line up anywhere on the field makes him a serious threat. With Kliff Kingsbury running the offense, Detroit’s defense will need to be ready for an even tougher challenge when they face Washington next season.
