However, the 49ers may not be finished yet. The team recently explored the possibility of bringing back Raheem Mostert, who played with them from 2016 to 2021.
"I do got some juice left, obviously," Mostert said on NFL Network, per Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated. "But now it's all about trying to win. I got a taste of what it was like when I was with the Niners in '19, getting to Super Bowl and playing in that game and scoring as well. So once you get that, you definitely want to go back and you want to pick a team that's suitable for that occasion. But also you want to, you want to get the opportunity to go out there and showcase you still got it.
"It would definitely be a great one-two punch. I talked to CMC, one of my guys. We've chatted quite, quite some time over the years, and honestly, the Niners have been in discussion. I could just say that we've heard from them, and trying to work some stuff out, obviously. But you never know. You can go one direction and then flip within an hour, to another direction. But everything's on the table for me right now."
Mostert is just one year removed from his only 1,000-yard rushing season. In 2023, he rushed for 1,012 yards and accounted for 21 total touchdowns in his second year with the Miami Dolphins.
Mostert's release from the Dolphins was primarily a cap-related move, but he also lost his starting job to De'Von Achane, finishing the 2024 season with 439 scrimmage yards and just two rushing touchdowns.
It's also worth noting that the 49ers have expressed a desire to get younger this offseason, and Mostert will be 33 at the start of the 2025 season.
