Injuries limited Samuel to appearing in just four games for the Chargers this year. 

โ€œOut of my 20 years of playing, I never missed a season like this, more than two or three games or four games, so it was definitely tough just not being out there with my brothers,โ€ Samuel said. โ€œIt was hurtful not to be out there.โ€

Samuel played out the final year of his four-year deal worth $7,222,944 that included a $2,613,050 signing bonus.
