Pauline wrote “Multiple league sources tell me the Niners put a baseline contract offer on the table for Samuel, which averages just under $19 million per year,” adding “Most believe Samuel’s ultimate contract will be in the range of $23-$24 million per year.

He likely won’t make as much money as A.J. Brown, who could sign a renegotiated contract with the Tennessee Titans sooner than later.”
