  • Matt Breida: Retiring after seven seasons

    Breida plans to retire, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

    Breida finishes his career with 2,652 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns, as well as 120 receptions for 935 yards and six touchdown catches in 98 regular-season games for the 49ers, Dolphins, Bills and Giants. The 30-year-old running back played seven seasons in the NFL from 2017 through 2023.

  • Matt Breida: Gets let go

    Breida was released by the 49ers on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Breida was working to make the most of a reunion with San Francisco, but he'll unfortunately fall short of making their 53-man roster. The veteran running back spent the first three seasons of his career with the franchise, but he's spent time with the Dolphins, Bills and Giants since that point.

  • 49ers' Matt Breida: Back in San Francisco

    Brieda has agreed to a deal with the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Breida spent his first three seasons in San Francisco before stints with Miami, Buffalo and the Giants. His most productive years were those he spent with the 49ers, and he will now look for another opportunity to showcase his talents in the Bay Area. Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) was selected by the team in the fourth round of this year's draft and was expected to back up Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell in the backfield, but he is now expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks. As a result, Breida will compete with the likes of Jordan Mason, Patrick Taylor and Cody Schrader for a depth running back role heading into the season.

  • Giants' Matt Breida: Struggles in reserve role

    Breida went without a carry while playing five snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

    Breida ended the regular season with 55 carries for 151 yards and a touchdown while catching 17 of 21 targets for 88 yards over 17 games. He played second fiddle behind workhorse Saquon Barkley for most of the season, but even when Barkley was sidelined from Weeks 3 through 5 due to injury, Breida couldn't get much going on the ground as the fill-in starting running back. The seventh-year veteran's role decreased as the campaign wound down, and he played only eight offensive snaps without logging any stats over the final two weeks. That drop in opportunity came as New York gave rookie Eric Gray a longer look, perhaps signaling the team's desire to use him more as a ball carrier next season. Meanwhile, Breida is set to hit free agency and is far from a certainty to return to New York in 2024. He has durability going for him, having played all 34 regular-season games for the Giants over the past two season, but after averaging a meager 2.7 yards per carry in 2023, he'll likely be looking at a backup role regardless of where he lands.
