On Wednesday night, McKinnon spoke with teammate Deebo Samuel on Instagram Live and was asked if he'd be back in 2021.
"Am I staying with the Niners? N----, f--k no," McKinnon responded. "What the hell you talking about? We gone! We gone!"
H/t to KNBR for the find.
After missing two seasons due to an ACL injury, McKinnon was a pleasant surprise during training camp last year. However, that didn't translate to the regular season. McKinnon finished his 2020 campaign with 81 carries for 319 yards and five rushing touchdowns. He also had 33 receptions for 253 yards with a receiving score.
Re-signing McKinnon probably wasn't going to be a high priority for the 49ers, and it sounds like the running back is fine with that.
According to Over The Cap and due to his restructured contract, the 49ers will pay McKinnon $2 million in 2021, whether he is on the roster or not.
