In his reworked deal, 49ers' RB Raheem Mostert got "plenty of extra incentives as well as a bonus," per source. https://t.co/kHqn1itUip

Mostert was scheduled to earn a base salary of just $2.575 million in 2020. He can now earn over $5 million in 2020, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Mostert remains in the second year of the three-year deal initially signed on March 15, 2019, as the contract length was not altered.
The #49ers gave RB Raheem Mostert a $250,000 signing bonus on his new deal -- making up for a $250K rushing yards incentive he narrowly missed last season, which the team intended to pay him, per source.

With upgraded incentives, Mostert now can earn over $5M in 2020.
Had 772 rushing yards last year. Needed 850 for another $250k. Teams will often give a guy the check in a bonus the following year, as the #49ers did here. This was part of their offer even before his trade demand, btw. https://t.co/DCdoAkMfJY

Mostert plans to report to training camp tomorrow for COVID-19 testing, as scheduled.
With a new, incentive-laden deal in hand, Raheem Mostert plans to arrive tomorrow when he and another 50 #49ers veterans will get their initial COVID test. If they pass a second, they can head into the team facility on Saturday.

Tessler announced on July 8 that he and his client had requested a trade from the 49ers after what was described as months of unproductive contract negotiations. A report by Ian Rapoport stated that Mostert is merely seeking to become the 49ers' highest-paid running back. Tevin Coleman, who will earn a base salary of $4.55 million in 2020, the final year of his two-year deal, was the team's highest-paid back before Mostert's reworked contract was finalized.
Mostert entered the NFL after signing with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of Purdue in 2015. He spent time with several teams before landing with the 49ers on November 28, 2016.
