As the 2022 season is close to kick-off, the San Francisco 49ers call for assembling a significant line-up in their team. They might have started making imperative judgments. The team had a quality run in 2021, but the management has been taking action for some efficient roster development. The franchise aims to draw in some veteran spirit like RB Raheem Mostert, who encountered a torn knee cartilage in week-1 of his 2021 run, which moved him to the injured reserve.

Now that Mostert is recuperating from surgery, he can knock the gates to unrestricted free agency in the upcoming month. However, the RB athlete may have been in contact with the San Francisco 49ers’ front for some contract negotiations.

Will Raheem Mostert make a decisive plea?

Raheem Mostert had some injury-related issues lingering for the past two years, which affected his performance in the previous games, but the 49ers may have called in for a post-injury return with the franchise.

A Good Call by the Niners?

The year 2022 can be a suitable point for Raheem’s comeback run. Given the veteran’s proficiencies and stats report prior to his injury, Mostert can be an enormous credit to the team’s running back force alongside rookie Elijah Mitchell, constituting an elite RB force. The franchise won’t neglect his performance against the Green Bay Packers. He unleashed his wrath having 29 carries for 220 yards, having 4 running touchdowns.

RB Raheem is an explosive professional and has proven himself to be a dynamic contestant. As a full bidding war looks doubtful, the 49ers can settle for a short-term deal with the veteran athlete. Above all, it will be a wise judgment by the 49ers franchise in bringing the athlete back for another run. In the end, it is yet to witness if the RB gets back or he dashes into his free agency.
