The 49ers placed a second-round tender on restricted free-agent wide receiver Kendrick Bourne and running back Matt Breida, the team announced Tuesday.
The one-year deals are set to pay Bourne and Breida $3.259 million for the 2020 season -- or approximately twice the amount each player earned in his first three NFL seasons combined.
The 49ers later announced the tenders. Bourne's agent, Henry Organ of Elite Loyalty Sports Agency, confirmed his client's tender.

Bourne and Breida still are allowed to negotiate with other teams as restricted free agents. But if another team signs either to an offer sheet and the 49ers do not match, the club would receive a second-round pick as compensation.
Bourne, 24, signed with the 49ers in 2017 as an undrafted rookie from Eastern Washington. After catching 42 passes for 487 yards and four touchdowns in 2018, Bourne had 20 receptions for 358 yards and five touchdowns last season.
Bourne started eight games in 2018 but did not have any starts last season. After a difficult game against Seattle in November, Bourne settled in and played well down the stretch of the season as the team’s No. 3 receiver.

“At some mid-point during the season, Kendrick Bourne took a huge step forward and so we went with three guys and we didn’t want to rotate as much,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said recently at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Breida, 25, was the team's leading rusher in 2018 with 814 yards on a 5.3-yard average. Last season, he appeared in 13 games with five starts. Breida gained 623 yards with a 5.1-yard average. He did not see much action late in the regular season and in the playoffs after returning from missing three games with an ankle injury.
Breida joins a 49ers backfield that consists of Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Jeff Wilson and Jerick McKinnon, who accepted a restructured deal on Tuesday to return to the club in 2020.
