Report: Raheem Mostert, 49ers trying to work things out

Raheem Mostert wants a new contract heading into 2020 after he was the San Francisco 49ers’ leading rusher last season, and his agent said recently that the running back is requesting a trade after the team showed an unwillingness to rework Mostert’s deal. However, there may be a way for the two sides to avoid a divorce.

Mostert’s agent, Brett Tessler, told Ian Rapoport of NFL Media on Monday that Mostert recently spoke with a high-ranking 49ers executive in an attempt to smooth things over. Tessler said he is hopeful a resolution will be reached.

Mostert, 28, is due to earn a base salary of just over $2.57 million this season. He rushed for 772 yards and eight touchdowns last year and appeared to be in line for a bigger workload ahead of Tevin Coleman after Matt Breida was traded to the Miami Dolphins. Mostert is signed through 2021, so you can understand why he wants a new deal given his growing role.
