49ers Trade Jordan Mason to Vikings in Roster Reshuffle
The Minnesota Vikings acquire running back Jordan Mason in exchange for draft picks, signing him to a two-year deal worth up to $12 million.
- The San Francisco 49ers traded running back Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings for a 2026 sixth-round pick and a 2025 pick swap, moving up from No. 187 to No. 160 in this year's draft.
- Mason, 25, signed a two-year contract with the Vikings that includes $7 million fully guaranteed and a maximum value of $12 million.
- The trade reflects the 49ers' ongoing offseason roster overhaul, which has seen several key players depart following a disappointing 6-11 season in 2024.
- Mason rushed for 789 yards and three touchdowns in 2024, stepping up as a starter during Christian McCaffrey's injury absence before missing the final five games due to a high ankle sprain.
- The Vikings aim to bolster their running game by pairing Mason with veteran Aaron Jones, who recently signed a two-year extension after a career-high 1,138-yard season.
