The Washington Commanders did not give up much in the trade for Deebo Samuel.
The Washington Commanders traded with the San Francisco 49ers back in March to acquire star wide receiver Deebo Samuel.

And it seems the deal is already paying off.
According to multiple reports, the seventh-year veteran wideout has been impressing so far in OTAs, which makes the price that the Commanders paid for him even more ridiculous.
Acquiring a player like Samuel, one would expect to pay a pretty hefty price, but the only thing that Washington sent the Niners was a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which they then used on Oregon running back Jordan James.
So apparently, one of the better wide receivers in the NFL is worth a rookie running back who is currently RB3 on the 49ers' depth chart.
Obviously, there are other factors involved. Money. Age. Injury. Attitude.

But ...
No matter how little they paid for him, the Commanders are happy that they have a player of Samuel's caliber for their superstar quarterback to throw to. Jayden Daniels had a spectacular rookie season in 2024, so having upgraded weapons will make him that much scarier.
Samuel finished this past season with 670 yards and three touchdowns, which is not bad considering he missed a couple of games due to a calf injury.
The 29-year-old receiver seemed read for a fresh start somewhere other than San Francisco, and the Commanders are more than willing to give that to him. He will be looking to help the team contend in a strong NFC East with the likes of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Coinbase Global (COIN): 'For All I Know It's A Pump And Dump, I Don't See Anybody Dumping?' Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . ABC is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) is a cryptocurrency exchange whose 57% year-to-date share price gain has resulted from legislation benefiting stablecoins and the bullish run in Bitcoin. Cramer's previous comments about Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) asserted that the firm has benefited from its large market share. This time, he discussed Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN)'s valuation: '[On Cantor going to $500] I think that's within reason. PE's of these companies, this is the lowest one in park, at 40 times earnings, well Robinhood's not that low yet, I mean not that high. I mean People have to understand P/E analysis is not working. Robinhood's at 62 times earnings. COIN is at 40 times earnings. And people will say, uh, Jim, the multiple's too high. And I come back and say, do you really think the retail investor knows what a multiple is? Like what are you like, some sort of abstraction? See, this is a new world. I'm realistic. Look, for all I know it's a pump and dump, I don't see anybody dumping? I'll tell you when it's over. When the insiders do big deals and sell. And when there's secondaries. And there haven't been. That's what caused 2014. That's what caused it to end. 2020. That's what caused it to end. I mean, 2000. That's what caused it. 2000 being the vicious number of secondaries between January and March of 2021 and also about 2020. These years were just horrendous. And these companies broke down. I'm waiting for that. But it's not happening. So I wanna give people my history. Which is that it should have happened by now. Like Karp should have been selling and the companies should have been raising money. But they don't need to. These companies are incredibly well capitalized. And when people want to try and say, you know what they're like what happened to the dotcoms, I remember the dotcoms. They didn't have any money.' While we acknowledge the potential of COIN as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Supreme Court won't hear thumbs-up emoji case involving Saskatchewan farmer
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has given a thumbs-down to hearing a legal case involving an emoji. The country's highest court dismissed an application by farmer Chris Achter to appeal a decision by the Court of Appeal of Saskatchewan. The Appeal Court upheld a verdict that found a thumbs-up emoji met signature requirements and was a legally binding agreement between Achter and Kent Mickleborough, a grain buyer with South West Terminal. In 2021, Mickleborough sent a text of a contract to Achter for a delivery of flax, and the farmer responded with a thumbs-up emoji. Achter didn't deliver the product, and the company took him to court for breaching the contract. The Supreme Court says costs are to be given to the grain company.
