The Washington Commanders took care of their offense by trading for receiver Deebo Samuel. Now they have taken care of him, reworking the final year of his contract to give him guaranteed money, John Keim of ESPN reports.

Washington guaranteed $17 million of Samuel's contract in 2025 and added $3 million worth of incentives, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

Before this move, Samuel had no guaranteed money remaining and was scheduled to have a base salary of $16,600,529 with a $200,000 workout bonus and a per game roster bonus of $44,117 worth up to $750,000.

Washington could have spread out Samuel's cap hit over two years by accepting a $15.4 million option bonus due March 22 that would have added another year to his deal -- which would have then automatically voided. But in declining the option bonus it left the Commanders absorbing his approximately $17.5 million cap hit in one year.
