San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco’s quarterback will be opting out of his contract this offseason to test the free agent market, according to a report by Adam Schefter and Chris Mortenson Friday morning.

Trent Baalke might be out as 49ers general manager, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t still irked about his tenure with the organization.

Without an NFL caliber starting quarterback currently on the roster, rumors about who the San Francisco 49ers might target as their next signal caller have been swirling since well before John Lynch was named the team’s new general manager.

New 49ers general manager John Lynch made his first appearance on KNBR’s Murph and Mac show Wednesday morning, and opened by telling a story about his surprising connection to San Francisco Giants World Series hero Edgar Renteria.

A phrase as old as time, true in many walks of life. Sometimes it takes the form of nepotism and cronyism. Other times it’s just plain old networking. In John Lynch’s case, working at an actual television network helped.

The 49ers appeared to be on the path to making a safe, experienced hire in either longtime Vikings personnel man George Paton or the Cardinals’ Terry McDonough. According to Murph, the hiring of the inexperienced Johny Lynch leaves something to be desired.

The San Francisco 49ers announced the hiring of former Buccaneers and Broncos strong safety John Lynch as their new GM Sunday night. Lynch has no prior experience in an NFL front office and he most recently worked as an analyst for Fox’s coverage of the NFL. Murph & Mac dropped by the Digital Lounge to speak […]

In an absolutely shocking move, the San Francisco 49ers are going to name Hall of Fame former safety John Lynch as their next general manager according to Adam Schefter.

The San Francisco 49ers became the only team without a general manager on Sunday afternoon, when the Indianapolis Colts announced their hiring of former Kansas City Chiefs director of football operations Chris Ballard as their new GM.

At this point, it seems like prospective 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan could get just about whatever he wants from the 49ers.
