San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel finally agreed to an extension with the organization, getting a three-year, $71.55 million deal worth up to $73.5 million with $58.1 million guaranteed.
The new deal now keeps Samuel with the 49ers through 2025, as he still has another year remaining on his rookie deal.
How does Samuel's deal rank against other receivers who earned extensions this offseason, especially the other fourth-year receivers who received deals as well?
Fellow fourth-year receivers A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf, and Terry McLaurin all signed extensions with their respective teams this offseason, leaving Deebo Samuel as the last among them to be signed, along with Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Diontae Johnson.
Here are the contract details for their contracts:
A.J Brown: four years, $100 million, $57 million guaranteed, $23.2 million signing bonus, and $40 million guaranteed at signing.
Terry McLaurin: three years, $71 million, $53.2 million guaranteed, $28 million signing bonus, and $34.6 million guaranteed at signing.
D.K. Metcalf: three years, $72 million, $58.2 million guaranteed, $30 million signing bonus, and $31 million guaranteed at signing.
Samuel's average annual value ranked third of the four receivers, as his $23.85 million-per-year is lower than D.K. Metcalf's $24 million-per-year and A.J. Brown's $25 million-per-year.
However, in the most important metric, guaranteed money, Samuel ranked second amongst the bunch, as his $58.1 million guaranteed ranked just behind Metcalf's $58.2 million guaranteed.
Samuel's signing bonus and guaranteed-at-signing numbers are currently unknown.
Currently, Samuel's average annual value of $23.85 million and $58.1 million guaranteed both rank ninth amongst receivers in the NFL.
49ers' Kyle Shanahan evaluates George Kittle's return, defenses taking away the Deebo Samuel factor

George Kittle caught just four passes for 28 yards during his 2022 season debut on Sunday night against the Denver Broncos. The San Francisco 49ers tight end is returning from a groin injury that forced him to miss Weeks 1 and 2. He wasn't much of a factor in the 11-10 loss to Denver, though.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters via a Monday conference call and asked if Kittle is still working his way back into game shape.
"Yeah, definitely," Shanahan responded. "You can't underestimate how much, when guys miss time, how hard it is to go out and play a game like that. So yeah, George, he did some good things, but he's not there yet because he hasn't been playing much. It was nice to get him back in practice more last week. It was nice to get him through

49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan
Opening Comments:
"[QB] Trey Lance obviously, he ended up breaking his ankle, he'll get surgery tomorrow morning and be done for the season. [TE] Tyler Kroft had a knee and we will look at that later. Go ahead."
How tough is the injury to Trey?
"Yeah, it's always tough, especially when it's a big one like that. It happened to [QB] Jimmy [Garoppolo] a couple of years ago, that
49ers mailbag: Is Shanahan on the hot seat? Did the coach not want to draft Trey Lance? How's the interior OL look? And other questions answered

The San Francisco 49ers won...and lost on Sunday. The win came by beating the Seattle Seahawks, something the 49ers have not done much of over the last 10 years. The loss came when Trey Lance broke his ankle. He's believed to be lost for the season.
It's been a rough first two weeks for 49ers fans. First there was the frustrating loss in Chicago, and now the injury to Lance. And to make matters worse, running back Ty Davis-Price sustained a high-ankle sprain that could sideline him for a few weeks. As you well know, Elijah Mitchell will already miss about two months with an MCL sprain.
Injuries are beginning to mount. But fortunately for you, I'm fully healthy and ready to share this week's 49ers mailbag with you. Let's get to it.

The San Francisco 49ers have officially placed QB Trey Lance on injured reserve. On Monday, the quarterback underwent successful surgery on his ankle at Stanford Hospital, repairing a fibula fracture and ligament disruption. The injury occurred early during Sunday's 27-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
"Lance will start the rehab process, and head team physician Dr. Tim McAdams is confident that he will recover completely in time for a full return in the 2023 season," the 49ers said via a statement.
Lance appeared in only five quarters this season, completing 15 of his 31 pass attempts for 194 yards and an interception. He also had 16 carries
