And despite using a second-round restricted free-agent tender on Breida, San Francisco ultimately sent him packing to the Dolphins in the middle of the NFL Draft in exchange for a fifth-round pick, which was eventually used on West Virginia offensive lineman Colton McKivitz.

Not able to stay fully healthy, Breida sustained a slightly torn pectoral muscle during OTA’s resulting in missing a portion of the offseason program. This was the result of a weightlifting injury that is a common mechanism of injury for a pectoral tear. He ultimately did not require surgery.
