SF 49ers' Raheem Mostert seeks trade as contract talks fizzle

Raheem Mostert’s explosive dashes during the regular season and playoffs helped propel the 49ers to the Super Bowl.

But now the NFL’s yards-per-carry leader among running backs no longer wants to be a Niner, according to his agent.

Brett Tessler tweeted that his client has requested a trade “after months of unproductive talks with he 49ers about fairly adjusting” his contract.

After months of unproductive talks with the 49ers about fairly adjusting Raheem Mostert's contract (which paid him for special teams) we have requested a trade. Disappointing that it would come to this for a guy who led all NFL RBs in YPC & helped lead them to the Super Bowl.
