According to NBC Sports’ Matt Maiocco, the 49ers are open to discussing trade offers for restricted free agent RB Matt Breida.
San Francisco tendered Breida at the second-round level but Maiocco says the team is willing to part with Breida for less compensation than what an offer sheet would entail.
The 49ers are deep at running back, with Breida, Tevin Coleman, Raheem Mostert and recently-restructured Jerick McKinnon all on the roster.
The second-round tender costs $3.27 million for the 2020 season and ensures San Francisco receives a second-round pick should they decline to match an offer sheet from another team.
Breida, 25, wound up going undrafted out of Georgia Southern back in 2017. He later agreed to a three-year, $1.66 million contract with the 49ers.
Breida will be an unrestricted free agent in 2020.
In 2019, Breida appeared in 13 games for the 49ers and rushed for 623 yards on 123 carries (5.1 YPC) to go along with 19 receptions for 120 yards receiving and two total touchdowns.
