What happened: Samuel spent the 2025 season in Washington before returning to his former club. The agreement ends his free agency as NFL training camps open.
Why it matters: The move adds an experienced option to a receiving group facing offseason uncertainty. Its one-year structure limits the commitment beyond the upcoming season.
By the numbers: Samuel caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. He added 75 rushing yards and one score.
What to watch: His offensive role should become clearer as training camp progresses.
