[46]

2022 season

During the 2022 offseason, it was reported that Samuel requested to be traded; however, he reported to training camp and ultimately, on July 31, 2022, signed a three-year, $73.5 million contract extension with $58.1 million guaranteed. [56] [57]

Against the Rams in Week 4, Samuel had six catches for 115 yards and a touchdown on a 57-yard catch-and-run in the 24–9 win. [58] After Week 7 against the Chiefs, Samuel reportedly had a hamstring issue. Head coach Kyle Shanahan called the injury day-to-day. This injury ruled Samuel out for Week 8 against the Rams, but Samuel returned after the team's Week 9 bye. [59] Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, Samuel had four catches for 43 yards, including 21 rush yards on 4 rush attempts and a rush touchdown on a 17-yard play. However, later on, Samuel injured his ankle and left the game with no return. [60] It was later reported he was expected to have a high ankle sprain. [61] He returned in Week 18. He finished the 2022 season with 56 receptions for 632 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns to go with 42 rushing attempts for 232 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.

[66] In Week 13, Samuel had four catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns, along with 22 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 42–19 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, earning NFC Offensive Player of the Week. [67] Prior to the matchup, Samuel was noted for his extensive trash talk to the Philadelphia Eagles team on Twitter (most notably calling Eagles corner James Bradberry “trash”.) [68] [69] This occurred due to the events of the 2023 NFC Championship from the prior year, where Samuel was held to 3 catches in the 31–7 loss. A month later at the Super Bowl LVIII opening night, when Samuel was asked by reporters if he considers the Eagles and 49ers to be a rivalry, he said “I consider rivalries close games”. [70] In the following game, he had seven receptions for 149 yards to go with a receiving and rushing touchdown in a win over the Seahawks. [71] In the next game, he had two receiving touchdowns in a win over the Cardinals in Week 15. [72] In Week 18, he crossed 1,000 career rushing yards.
