San Francisco Trades RB Matt Breida To Dolphins For 5th-Round Pick
MIAMI (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers traded running back Matt Breida to the Miami Dolphins for a fifth-round draft pick Saturday.
The 49ers used the pick to select West Virginia tackle Colton McKivitz.
Breida, who is from Brandon, Florida, averaged 5.0 yards per carry in three seasons with the 49ers and has 67 career receptions. Last year he rushed for 623 yards in 13 games but saw little action late in the season.
Breida is likely to share playing time with Jordan Howard, who was acquired in free agency last month. The Dolphins ranked last in the NFL in rushing in 2019, and 37-year-old quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was their leading rusher.
Breida signed a restricted free agent tender this month worth about $3.3 million. The 49ers still have running backs Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Jerick McKinnon under contract for 2020.
