Brett Tessler, the agent of San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert, recently took to Twitter to announce that they have requested a trade for Mostert after being unable to come to terms on a contract extension.

After unsuccessful negotiations with the 49ers regarding adjusting Raheem Mostert’s contract, which currently compensates him primarily for special teams play, we have formally requested a trade. It’s disappointing to reach this point for a player who led all NFL running backs in yards per carry and played a crucial role in taking the team to the Super Bowl.

Mostert was retained by the 49ers on a one-year exclusive rights contract in 2018 and then received a restricted free agent tender in 2019.

During the 2019 season, the 28-year-old running back amassed 772 rushing yards on 172 carries with eight touchdowns. He also contributed with 14 receptions for 180 receiving yards and two additional touchdowns.
