This is a solid addition for the Vikings as they&rsquo;re getting someone who not only produces but is also coming in pretty cheap. Mason is just 25 years of age and is coming off of his best season so far in his three year career. So why did the 49ers get rid of a young talent who could have a long and promising career ahead of him? <\/p><p>According to various reports, the 49ers traded Mason because it clears cap space and the 49ers&rsquo; draft capital for the next two years. The 49ers also already have Christian McCaffrey, and a promising rookie RB in Isaac Guerendo, which made Mason not so valuable for them.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The 49ers are trading RB Jordan Mason to the Vikings.

This may have hampered what Mason could have achieved if the 49ers just let him start for a full season. In 2024, after their star RB Christian McCaffrey was out for the season due to an injury, the 49ers decided to start Mason for 6 games. He played in 12 total games and put up his career best numbers with 789 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 11 receptions, and 91 receiving yards.<\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/how-is-cooper-cupps-signing-with-the-seattle-seahawks-better-than-what-meets-the-eye\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>How Is Cooper Cupp&rsquo;s Signing With the Seattle Seahawks Better Than What Meets the Eye!<\/a><\/p><p>Now that he&rsquo;s with the Vikings, Mason could finally get the playing minutes he deserves.
