The San Francisco 49ers are trading running back Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
Minnesota is also signing Mason to a two-year contract worth up to $12 million with over $7 million guaranteed, Rapoport and Pelissero add. The Vikings are sending San Francisco a 2026 sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder, while Minnesota will receive a 2025 sixth-round pick.
Mason stepped into the starting running back role for a portion of last season due to Christian McCaffrey’s Achilles injury. He suited up in 12 contests, rushing for 789 yards on 153 attempts for an average of 5.2 yards per carry.
