The San Francisco 49ers tendered running back Raheem Mostert to a one-year contract, which he had not yet signed as of Friday.
And he doesn't intend to.
Instead, Mostert and the 49ers have agreed upon a new three-year deal that will keep the running back with the team through 2021, according to his agent, Brett Tessler.
The original plan was to gauge market interest in Mostert, which Tessler says was "strong." Other teams had until April 19 to make Mostert an offer, which the 49ers would have the option of matching.
Tessler added that his client "wanted to continue building on what he started" with the 49ers.
Update: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network provides the following information about the new contract.
Mostert initially signed with the 49ers on November 28, 2016, and primarily served as a special teams standout before things changed this past year. Injuries at running back pushed Mostert to gather more playing time on offense. He was having his best NFL season rushing the football before suffering a fractured right forearm during a Week 9 contest against the Oakland Raiders.
"We went into this year just with Raheem mainly as a special teams guy,"
head coach Kyle Shanahan said in December. "The games that he played in where he got a go at running back, he did a hell of a job."
Mostert finished 2018 with career-highs of 261 rushing yards on 34 carries (7.7 yards per carry) with a touchdown while adding six catches for 25 receiving yards through nine games.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft
We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.
