The 27 million is all because of CMC not because of Mason or gurrendo.

There is no logical reason to gut your young RB core for an older RB coming off injury. If anybody has to move it will be CMC but I believe his recent raise makes that difficult...

You should move CMC into the slot for his own health sake and give the bulk of carries to Mason and gurrendo to split. Give CMC rb3 outside zone carries. Up the middle has never been CMC game anyway. He's far better to either side.

CMC should not be used so much as he was in 23.

Never understood why there wasn't more subbing.

Why do people value/talk about Mason as if he wasn't arguably the best rb through the first six weeks of the season last year? As if he's extremely dispensible.

Mason is homegrown; knows the system; has proven his ability; and he's 25. You don't throw that away when you have a battered, injury prone RB #1.

Guerrendo is promising, but he was a rookie last year and he had durability issues as well.

Mason is a tremendous and essential asset for the 49ers backfield. Love that they put a second-round tender on him. Now they need to stand pat and keep him here. Trading him away would be a fool's errand that will prove costly.

Then again, Shanny has always hated using Mason and only did when forced. So there's that.

Because RBs are dispensable, especially ones they offer little in the passing game.

I mean Mason was hurt all the same last yr.

FWIW Mason is a prime example of why you don't need to spend money on RBs (especially when you need help everywhere else). He wasn't even drafted.

also this upcoming draft is probably one of the most loaded RB drafts in a decade.

Enjoy watching Mason, if they can get a pick for him then do it.

Not sure yet. One report says a 2026 6th round pick and another pick swap.
