Mason spent the last three seasons in San Francisco after signing as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL Draft.
The veteran running back played a major role in the 49ers' offense during the 2024 NFL season, filling in as San Francisco's lead ball carrier during Christian McCaffrey's injury absence.
The 49ers placed a second-round tender on Mason earlier this week, and now they receive an extra fifth-round draft pick this year and a sixth-round draft pick next year.
Mason finishes his 49ers career with 1,253 rushing yards on 236 attempts (5.3 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns across 45 appearances with the team.
