Former San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde is back in the NFC West. He has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN.
Hyde was with the 49ers during head coach Kyle Shanahan's first season with the team in 2017. San Francisco opted not to re-sign the running back, who finished the season with 940 rushing yards, a career-high 350 receiving yards, and a career-high eight rushing touchdowns.
Hyde played with two teams in 2018, first signing with the Cleveland Browns before being traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The running back signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 before being traded to the Houston Texans just before the start of the regular season.
Hyde rushed for a career-high 1,070 yards and six touchdowns on 245 carries through 16 games with the Texans last season. It was his first season rushing for over 1,000 yards.
San Francisco made Hyde a second-round draft pick out of Ohio State in 2014. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the 49ers.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.

7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
