The San Francisco 49ers ran Star who Jordan Mason ran back to the Minnesota Vikings in the latest shock outside the season NFL Move.
Mason was the lead of the Niners in 2024 because of the Achilles injury of Christian McCaffrey, but he has now been released to strengthen a very active Vikings schedule.
In the past week, the Vikings have again signed or took over 12 different players in an attempt to improve a team that ended 14-3 in the regular season, but bombarded from the play-offs at the first obstacle.
Mason has agreed to a two -year -old, $ 7 million fully guaranteed contract in Minnesota, that could rise to $ 12 million if he meets different incentives.
As part of the deal, the 49 people receive a sixth round pick from 2026, and the two teams have also exchanged Picks 160 and 187 in this year's NFL concept.
Mason will combine with the experienced Aaron Jones in the Vikings Running back room, which last week corresponded to return to a two -year -old deal of $ 20 million.

ESPN reports that Minnesota had given priority to finding Jones some Backfield partners to share the load after he had recorded a career-high number of Carry's (255) in 2024.
Mason was one of the main trensks of the NFL last season and achieved a career-high 789 Yards on 153 attempts with three touchdowns.
He ended the season on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain, so that he had missed the last five games of the Vikings' campaign.
Mason's exit from San Francisco will probably leave the team behind to dig back in the return market.
As it looks now, McCaffrey is supported by Isaac Guendo and Patrick Taylor JR, with only the latter not in repairing a knee injury.
