San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert has finalized a restructured contract with the team, his agent announced Monday.
Earlier this month, agent Brett Tessler announced that he had requested that the 49ers trade their client due to unproductive contract talks. The situation changed on Monday when Tessler tweeted:
“I just finalized a new deal for Raheem Mostert with the San Francisco 49ers. Happy that we work things out and we hope he has another great season there. Thank you organization for taking care of him.”
Mostert owes $ 2.575 million in base salary with a $ 300,000 bonus in 2020 and can now earn up to an additional $ 2.75 million in bonuses and incentives, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Mostert also owes $ 2.85 billion in 2021 as part of a three-year contract he signed last year. Based on the annual average value, Mostert was the fourth-highest-paid running back of the 49ers, behind Jerick McKinnon ($ 7.5 million), fullback Kyle Juszczyk ($ 5.25 million) and Tevin Coleman ($ 4.25 million).
Mostert led the 49ers with 772 rushing yards last season and scored 10 touchdowns (eight runs, two receptions). In three postseason games, he ran for 336 yards with five touchdowns. He set a 49ers franchise record with 220 rushing yards in his team’s 37-20 NFC Championship Game victory over the Green Bay Packers.
He led the NFL with 12 rushing touchdowns from Week 12 through the end of the 2019 postseason. His 760 rushing yards in that span was the second-most in the league, behind only the Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans, who had 1,154.
