Travaris Cadet was one of the top free-agent running backs on the market when the San Francisco 49ers inked him to a contract on Nov. 10.
The fourth-year ball-carrier spent three seasons with the New Orleans Saints before joining the New England Patriots during the offseason. The Patriots parted ways with Cadet after Week 2 when LaGarrette Blount completed his suspension.
Cadet wasn’t short on interested employers, however. A number of teams had the running back in for workouts or showed interest, including the Patriots again.
But Cadet opted to come out west.
“It was a tough decision,” Cadet said.
