Vikings trade with 49ers for RB Jordan Mason

Jordan Mason

The Minnesota Vikings acquired running back Jordan Mason from the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night for a 2026 sixth-round selection and a pick swap in next month’s draft, according to multiple reports.

The 49ers will get the Vikings’ pick at No. 160, and Minnesota will drop back to No. 187.

Mason, 25, was a restricted free agent who goes to Minnesota after agreeing to a new contract for two years, $7 million guaranteed and a maximum value of $12 million, according to the reports.

The Vikings are bolstering depth at running back after bringing back starter Aaron Jones, 30, on a two-year, $20 million extension reportedly agreed to last week.

An undrafted free agent in 2022, Mason played three seasons for the 49ers. He started for the first time last season in six games of the 12 that he played before going on injured reserve (high ankle sprain) in early December and missing the final five games. He rushed 153 times for 789 yards (both team highs) and three touchdowns and also caught 11 passes for 91 yards.

He got off to a fast start as a replacement for star Christian McCaffrey (Achilles injury), rushing for 100 or more yards in three of his first four games.

Mason has 236 career carries for 1,253 yards and seven TDs, and 14 catches for 122 yards.

McCaffrey returns to the top of the depth chart for the 49ers, ahead of Isaac Guerendo, who also is coming off an injury, and Patrick Taylor Jr.
