Matt Breida Signs With 49ers

3 months ago

Free-agent running back Matt Breida signed an undisclosed deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, according to a source. The eight-year NFL veteran rushed for 1,902 yards with the 49ers from 2017 to 2019 in his first three years in the league after he went undrafted out of Georgia Southern. After his time in the Bay Area, Breida hopped around the last four years with the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and New York Giants. He spent the last two years with the G-Men as backfield depth, carrying the ball 109 times for 371 yards and two touchdowns and adding 37 receptions for 206 yards through the air in 34 games (five starts). The 29-year-old will essentially provide the 49ers with backfield depth behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell with rookie Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) out multiple weeks in camp. The Niners also have Jordan Mason, Patrick Taylor and Cody Schrader, so Breida is no lock by any means to make the Week 1 roster.
