Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel or Stanley Morgan Jr.

Friday, March 21, 4:02 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. noted in his introductory conference with reporters via The Associated Press that the team is "getting a motivated Deebo." "I'm just ready to get back to work." said the seventh-year pro. "I'm just ready to get around a group of guys, meet with the players, and we just go from there." The 29-year-old hasn't quite reached the heights of his absurd 1,770-yard, 14-touchdown All-Pro season in 2021. However, he has provided a versatile chess piece in Kyle Shanahan's offenses over the years. The South Carolina product also stated that winning is a motivator for him, and he was impressed with the play of second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels during his first stint in the pros. Samuel Sr. should fit opposite teammate Terry McLaurin nicely, adding another playmaker to deploy in Washington's dynamic offense.

The Tennessee Titans waived/released wide receiver Stanley Morgan Jr., linebacker Curtis Bolton, defensive tackles McTelvin Agim and Isaiah Iton, defensive back Gervarrius Owens and offensive guard Logan Bruss on Wednesday. Their roster currently sits at 65 players after the cuts. Morgan, 28, has not played in an NFL game since 2023 with the Cincinnati Bengals, when he played in just three games and didn't see a single target on offense. In fact, he hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2021 and has only five receptions on 15 targets for 29 yards and no touchdowns in 51 games (one start) over his five seasons with the Bengals since entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska. The Titans had signed Morgan to a Reserve/Futures deal after he spent time on their practice squad in 2024. He'll be hoping to latch on with another team before training camp this summer.
