The 49ers are releasing veteran running back Matt Breida, a decision shaped by the depth and talent at the running back position on the team.
After adding Breida late in camp due to injuries at the running back position, his performance wasn't enough to secure a spot behind talented players.
Matt Breida had a successful stint with the 49ers in his early career and will now look for opportunities as an unrestricted free agent.
With a career total of 2,652 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, Breida has demonstrated his ability, yet the 49ers have opted for younger talent.
