Six-time All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner is returning to the Washington Commanders after being a big part of their franchise-best turnaround and a trip to the NFC championship game in quarterback Jayden Daniels' rookie season.

The linebacker will return for a 14th NFL season after agreeing to a one-year deal to stay with the Commanders. He had a team-best 132 tackles last year.

Last week, general manager Adam Peters pulled off a big trade to help quarterback Jayden Daniels and the offense, landing wide receiver Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers. On Thursday, the Bengals allowed Hendrickson and his agent permission to seek a trade.

The Bengals granted Trey Hendrickson's request to seek a trade one day after the Raiders and Maxx Crosby reached a three-year, $106 million extension.

Deebo Samuel was one of the first big names to change teams during the 2025 NFL offseason, with the San Francisco 49ers agreeing to trade the wide receiver to the Washington Commanders at the official start of free agency. Now the former All-Pro has shed light on why Washington was his ideal destination.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is set to join the Commanders in a trade once the new league year is underway and he penned a lengthy farewell to the 49ers on Thursday.
