I may be wrong but I believe that the 49er's will be on the hook for any prorated signing bonus left and the new team will be responsible for Samuel's base salary and other bonuses like roster and workout bonuses in the contract.  My guess is he'll want to renegotiate a contract with the new team so that of course would change the new team's obligations.

Here is his contract:

The 49er's would be on the hook for $31 million of dead cap if traded before June 1st and $10.75 million if traded after.
