Approaching his fourth NFL season, Taylor Jr. spent the past three years in Green Bay, often serving as the third-string option behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon.
It’s anticipated that Taylor will assume a comparable role with San Francisco, although he might encounter challenges making the roster. The majority of touches typically go to Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, while Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason offer solid backup options at relatively affordable contracts.
Nevertheless, both Mitchell and Mason are entering the final year of their current contracts, suggesting that this signing could pave the way for a transition away from either RB.
Meanwhile, despite their activity in free agency, the 49ers are also striving to retain Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk addressed the situation on March 28 during “The Night Cap” podcast.
