NFL Trade Rumor: New York Giants could make a move for the $17M former Washington Commanders star to boost struggling offense

The New York Giants went through a pretty tough time on the field in the last two seasons as it struggled to keep up.While the team finished the last season with 4 wins and 13 losses, it seems all focus is working on the roster for the new season.A few hours ago, Bleacher Report’s Joseph Zucker linked the New York Giants to the Washington Commanders’ popular wide receiver, Deebo Samuel.Bleacher Report’s Joseph Zucker noted in a recent report, “The New York Giants selected Notre Dame's Malachi Fields in the third round and traded up to get him. The team is presumably expecting a lot of him.”Bleacher Report’s Joseph Zucker added, “At the same time, New York brought Odell Beckham Jr. in for a physical earlier this week. Should the Giants want more experience in the passing game, Samuel would give them better bang for their buck than OBJ.”However, the New York Giants have yet to respond to the trade speculations concerning the former Washington Commanders’ popular wide receiver, Deebo Samuel.The 30 year old wide receiver has had an interesting turn of events in the last two seasons.Back in 2024, Deebo Samuel played for the San Francisco 49ers but failed to perform well on the field.The popular wide receiver also sustained a couple of injuries, including calf, wrist, oblique, and rib issues, along with a bout of pneumonia.At the end, Deebo Samuel finished the season with 51 receptions for 670 yards and 3 receiving touchdowns in 15 games, adding 42 carries for 136 yards and 1 rushing touchdown.Later, Deebo Samuel requested a trade as he expressed his frustration, even though the NFL Trade Rumor: New York Giants could make a move for the $17M Washington Commanders star to boost struggling offenseJohn Lynch opened up about how the team did not want to release him.Deebo Samuel ended up joining the Washington Commanders for the 2025 season, where he performed relatively well on the field.Deebo Samuel finished the last season with 72 receptions for 727 yards and five receiving touchdowns to go with a rushing touchdown.While there has been an improvement since the 2024 season, all eyes are on where Deebo Samuel ends up in the next season.
