Change Team:
This page lists all the 2025 Trades for the Washington Redskins. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2025 – Trades and Signings
Redskins acquire OT Laremy Tunsil, 2025 4th-round pick from Texans for 2026 2nd-round pick, 2025 3rd-round pick, 2026 4th-round pick, 2025 7th-round pick
The Redskins were a great value bet at 22/1 to win the Super Bowl. That number is undoubtedly long gone, as the team acquired Laremy Tunsil shortly after obtaining Deebo Samuel.
To simplify, the fourth-round picks are effectively a wash, while the seventh-round choice is mostly irrelevant. Thus, all the Redskins gave up for Tunsil were a third this year and a second next year. This seems to be an amazing deal to add an elite left tackle for Jayden Daniels.
The Texans are the clear loser in this trade. They won’t get their second-round pick until 13 months from now, and C.J. Stroud will lose his exceptional blind-side protector. Surely, the Texans could’ve figured out a way to keep Tunsil on the roster.

Redskins acquire WR Deebo Samuel from 49ers for 5th-round pick
One of the reasons I loved the idea of betting the Redskins at 20/1 or better – see more on my NFL Betting Futures page – is that they had the third-most cap space in the NFL. I suggested that their price would be far worse after they acquired Tee Higgins and Myles Garrett. Higgins wasn’t the receiver they obtained, but rather Deebo Samuel.
Samuel had a disappointing 2024 campaign. He started off well, but got hurt in the middle of the season and was never the same after that. Samuel was available cheaply as a result, and the Redskins did a great job of buying low. Surrendering just a fifth-round draft choice was an excellent move.
As for the 49ers, this was a predictable transaction. They have a couple of talented, young receivers, and they needed to shed some cap space to re-sign several key players, including Brock Purdy. I thought they could get a fourth-round pick for Samuel, so Washington definitely won this trade.
Grade for Redskins – A+
Grade for 49ers – B-
