49ers messages: Jordan Mason receives a tender tender in the second round

The San Francisco 49ers place a tender in the second round to trace Jordan Mason from ESPN, according to Adam Schefter. This means that Mason will be under contract for a one-year contract worth $ 5.34 million in 2025, unless another team is ready to separate from a second round.

This happened after the first day of the Free Agency, when Najee Harris signed a one-year contract worth $ 9.25 million at the Los Angeles Chargers, and Javonte Williams signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys for $ 3 million. I wonder if the 49s wanted to see how the market would react on the first day and then decide how to approach Mason.

The upcoming NFL design is loaded on the running back position. If there was a team who was ready to give up a second rider and pay them $ 5 million, it was a team with Greg Roman at the offensive coordinator or Jerry Jones, who called the shot.

Teams such as the Broncos, Steelers, Ravens, Raiders, Giants, and I am sure that there is a handful of others, could use a quality that runs back. Mason has proven that he could be in 2024.

Mason led the 49s in the regular season in Rushing Yards, Yards Pro Carry, First Downs and at least 20 meters. For the first month of the season, Mason headed the NFL in Rushing Yards.

Mason, who will be 26 in May, has only 236 wearing his name in the NFL. It was particularly strong when the 49s ran outside the duels. Mason was second with 6.3 in the NFL in Yards Pro Carry outside of the duels. He was also fourth in the NFL in Yards after contact and took the tenth percentage of the carrying with a broken or missed duel.

There is a reason why the 49s placed a tender in the second round on Mason, and it is due to the production listed above. A shoulder injury in October and a high auction in December in December average Mason’s season, but based on everything he showed in his first season as a “Bell Cow”, impressed Mason.

But was he impressive enough to give another team a second rider? We will find out.
