Deebo Samuel is still without a team since becoming an unrestricted free agent in March.
As the 30-year-old wide receiver continues to search for his next NFL team, he delivered a clear message with a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday.
“Going on Year 8 … [I] still feel like I got a lot, at least like three, four good years left,” Samuel said, via NFL.com. “It’s kind of been tough, not even going to lie to you. All the free agency stuff going on, waking up in the morning, looking at your phone, seeing if your agent hit you and was like, ‘This team is interested,’ or things along those lines. And it’s been kind of like a roller coaster.
“[I’ve] been through a lot, not just ball. With me and how I play this game, it’s just like, no matter what I’m going through, no matter what I’m doing, if I’m able to perform, I’m going to go out there and put it on the line for my team.”
Samuel, who spent the first six seasons of his NFL career in San Francisco, just finished up his lone season with the Washington Commanders in 2025. Through 16 game appearances, he reeled in 72 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns, while also rushing for 75 yards and another score on the ground.
“Some people ask like, ‘Are you ready to hang it up?’ And I’m like, nah, everything’s got timing,” Samuel added. “So I promise you when the time come, it’s going to come. And I’m overly prepared, overly ready for the moment. And whenever that right opportunity show up, we here first, man. I’m ready to rock out.”
