The San Francisco 49ers are trading running back Matt Breida to the Miami Dolphins for a fifth-round pick in this year's draft, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Breida signed his one-year tender with the 49ers on April 16. The team placed the second-round tender on the 25-year-old running back on March 17. Breida is preparing to enter his fourth NFL season.
The 49ers signed Breida as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Southern in 2017. He carried the football 123 times for 623 yards with a rushing touchdown while adding 19 receptions for 120 yards with a receiving touchdown through 13 games and five starts in 2019.
While Breida had nine carries for 19 yards during the 49ers' first two playoff games in January, he didn't touch the football during Super Bowl LIV against the Kansas City Chiefs. The running back has accumulated 1,902 rushing yards on 381 attempts with six rushing touchdowns through his three NFL seasons.

Monson explains why trading young 49ers stars for Deshaun Watson isn't unthinkable

Sam Monson, the lead analyst for Pro Football Focus, feels the trade partner that makes the most sense for Deshaun Watson is the Miami Dolphins. That is, assuming the quarterback can force the Houston Texans to trade him. The Dolphins have a lot of draft capital to surrender, including two first-rounders this year, and could be a quarterback away from contending.
Another team that could be considered built to win now is the San Francisco 49ers. However, they do not have as appealing a portfolio of draft picks as Miami. That would mean that to compete in a bidding war for a player like Watson — and there is no evidence that they would consider it — San Francisco would need to throw in some young proven talent into an offer that would also include draft

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is reporting that the San Francisco 49ers are among quarterback Deshaun Watson's list of teams that he is "intrigued by."
"I checked in with a source that says Deshaun Watson has a list of teams that he's intrigued by," said Fowler on ESPN's Get Up. "He's not pigeonholing anything, but he's got a list. I didn't get all the teams, but I was told that the Denver Broncos, the San Francisco 49ers are two of them.
"I also asked the source about the Jets and the Dolphins because they have the most draft capital this year and the next few years. I was told the Jets, 'Eh, probably not.' Maybe more so the Dolphins as far as viability."
Watson has expressed frustration with the Texans organization and has requested a trade. The
