Weeks after agent Brett Tessler confirmed that he requested the San Francisco 49ers trade running back and client Raheem Mostert, Tessler tweeted that the 28-year-old ball-carrier has restructured his deal with the club:

Just finalized a new deal for Raheem Mostert with the San Francisco 49ers. Happy we got things worked out and looking forward to him having another great season there. Thanks to the organization for taking care of him.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Mostert is now eligible to make an additional $2.75 million in bonuses and incentives on top of the $2.575 million in base salary with a $300,000 bonus he's due for the 2020 campaign.

Mostert led the NFL in yards per carry (5.6) among running backs last season and has 1,069 career rushing yards and a 6.0 YPC career average across just 178 regular-season attempts.

Per ESPN, Mostert found the end zone on 12 occasions from Week 12 through the completion of the 2019 playoffs. No player scored more rushing touchdowns over that period.
