Let's see. A 28 year old running back who has been on 5 different teams during his 5 year NFL career and has had one "good" season. He is in year 2 of his 3 year contract with the 49ers. I wouldn't give him a raise. If they can get something in return for him then trade him, but the odds are he won't be able to reproduce his best year.

Breaking down Mostert’s leverage, value, and figuring out what happens next
San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert requested a trade on Wednesday. Ian Rapoport said Mostert wants to be the highest-paid running back on the team. Tevin Coleman will make 4.55 million in 2020, and that’s where Mostert wants to be. After the season both players just had, that’s a fair request. Mostert has worked his tail off as a special-teamer and finally received the opportunity to showcase his skills as a running back at the highest level. He did not disappoint.
System running back?
Kyle Shanahan is involved, so instantly, you think Mostert is replaceable. When talking about Mostert, this is a situation where “all things are true.” Does he benefit from the 49ers system? Absolutely. I could put together about 20 carries or so of Mostert running untouched where John Madden would say, “you could fit a truck through that hole.” Credit Mike McDaniel there. Mostert benefitting from the Niners offense can be true while acknowledging Mostert can create for himself.
Over the second half of the season, Mostert averaged 5.7 yards per carry on 82 rushes. Twenty of those went for first downs, and 14 went over 10 yards. He averaged 3.59 yards after contact (seventh in the NFL) and avoided 15 tackles, per PFF. Mostert had the 27th most carries during the 2nd half. The eye test matches up with the numbers.
