Tue Mar 11 13:30:00 UTC 2025: ## 49ers Retain Running Back Jordan Mason with Second-Round Tender
**San Francisco, CA** – The San Francisco 49ers have secured the services of running back Jordan Mason, placing a second-round tender on the restricted free agent. This means any team wishing to sign Mason would have to forfeit a second-round draft pick to the 49ers, a price considered prohibitive for a player of Mason’s profile.
Mason, an undrafted free agent who impressed last season filling in for the injured Christian McCaffrey, rushed for 789 yards on 153 carries in 2022. While expected to return to a backup role behind McCaffrey this season, his performance earned him the significant tender offer from the 49ers, worth $5.346 million for 2025.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the news, highlighting the low likelihood of another team matching the second-round tender. The 49ers are therefore confident in retaining Mason, providing valuable depth at the running back position. The team values Mason’s ability to contribute significantly when called upon.
