NFL Free Agent Rumors: Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs could eye $82M Washington Commanders veteran wide receiver (Image via Pinterest: Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs logo)NFL Network’s Matt Okada recently wrote an article titled, “Biggest Remaining Roster Issue for Every AFC Team.”Under two teams, “wide receiver” was their weakest link and a major roster need.The two teams are the Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts.When it comes to 2026 free agent wide receivers, apart from Stefon Diggs and Tyreek Hill, one player who is healthy and ready to go is none other than Washington Commanders veteran wideout Deebo Samuel.How can Samuel help the Colts or the Chiefs? Let’s chalk it out.Washington wide receiver Deebo Samuel linked to Kansas City ChiefsAccording to NFL Network’s Matt Okada, Kansas City’s deficiencies at wide receiver are broader and deeper.Rashee Rice is great out of the slot when he is available.Xavier Worthy is good for a couple of plays a year but has yet to find consistent production. After them, the depth chart falls.At 36, newlywed Travis Kelce is “not picking up the slack like he used to.”ESPN’s Aaron Schatz urges the Chiefs to sign Deebo Samuel.Samuel had a bit of a down season with the Washington Commanders in 2025. But he still has something left in the tank at age 30.And his ability to take carries from the backfield makes him extra fun for Chiefs head coach Andy Reid to play with in his game-planning.Deebo Samuel linked to Daniel Jones team Indianapolis ColtsAccording to NFL Network’s Matt Okada, there is a vacant spot opposite Alec Pierce after Michael Pittman Jr. was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason.Josh Downs is underrated in the slot, but he is pigeonholed into that role. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Deion Burks are depth pieces.They do not have a Michael Pittman Jr. level starting caliber.Tight end Tyler Warren could get a lot of targets, but Indianapolis’ three-receiver sets could look weak.According to NFL Network’s Matt Okada, the Colts could consider a stopgap solution in Stefon Diggs.According to Sports Illustrated’s Thomas Carelli, Daniel Jones’ team could consider Deebo Samuel.Samuel could be the guy behind Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. Shane Steichen’s smartest offensive mind could use Samuel’s skillset.Just like Steichen used tight end Tyler Warren in the screen game, behind center, and more.Deebo Samuel free agency rumorsCategoryDetailsPlayer NameDeebo SamuelCurrent TeamNone.
