Veteran running back Matt Breida plans to retire after seven NFL seasons, ESPN reported on Thursday.

Breida, 30, spent time in training camp with the San Francisco 49ers last year but was released prior to the season. He did not play for an NFL club in 2024.

Per ESPN, Breida also declined a requested workout by the Miami Dolphins during this offseason.

He rushed for 2,652 yards and nine touchdowns in 98 career games for the 49ers (2017-19), Dolphins (2020), Buffalo Bills (2021) and New York Giants (2022-23). He also had 120 catches for 935 yards and six scores.

He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Southern.
