On the same day Kyle Juszczyk was re-signed, the 49ers traded Jordan Mason, their top rusher of 2024, to the Minnesota Vikings. In exchange, the 49ers received the Vikings' fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick for 2026. Mason had previously been given a second-round tender as a restricted free agent. He had a breakout 2024 season as the lead rusher during Christian McCaffrey's injury, but both players ended the season with injuries. The 49ers may now seek to reinforce their running back corps through the draft or free agency.
The 49ers are trading Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings shortly after giving him a second-round tender, highlighting a strategic shift in their backfield.
The 49ers are expected to bolster their running back roster as they navigate the aftermath of trading a starting-caliber player like Mason.
