The Minnesota Vikings kept their foot on the gas pedal this week, agreeing to acquire RB Jordan Mason from the San Francisco 49ers. Minnesota will send back a 5th Round pick (#160) in the upcoming draft, and a 6th Round pick in 2026, while the Vikings will bring back pick #187 (a 6th-Rounder) as well.

Mason was scheduled to earn a $5.346M 2nd-Round restricted free agent tender in 2025, but the Vikings have announced a 2 year, $12M contract extension for the 25-year-old that includes $7M fully guaranteed. He joins veteran Aaron Jones (who signed a 2 year, $20M extension of his own) as a strong 1-2 punch in Minnesota going forward.

San Francisco on the other hand continues their mini-purge this offseason, freeing up all $5.3M of Mason's salary in the move. The Niners are still in good hands at the running back position of course, as Christian McCaffrey is signed through the 2027 season (mostly guaranteed through 2025).

Jordan Mason's contract extension checks in at 2 years, $10.5M and includes $7.23M fully guaranteed. He'll earn $5.5M in 2025 (just north of his previous tender), and can add $1.5M to the deal based on rushing yards.
