Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or Matthew Golden

Wednesday, March 18, 6:29 AM

Free agent wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. remains unsigned after one week of free agency. While teams and players can take as much time as they need to negotiate, today's style of free agency places a strong emphasis on bidding wars within the first few days of the legal tampering window. Therefore, it's a bit surprising that Samuel remains unsigned, and even more surprising that we haven't heard many rumors about where he might end up. The Miami Dolphins are one potential landing spot, given that they said goodbye to both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle this offseason. He might not be a real playoff contender there, but Samuel's rushing ability and short-route success would fit a system that's expected to run the ball a lot with Malik Willis and De'Von Achane. Some contenders that could benefit from Samuel's skills and veteran experience include the Panthers, Patriots, Chiefs, Ravens, or Eagles. We can't rule out a return to Washington, either. He's coming off a modest 2025 campaign in which he totaled 72 catches, 727 receiving yards, 75 rushing yards, and six total touchdowns.
