Shon Coleman received a pay bump due to a proven performance escalator early this year. Coleman didn’t play a single-snap for the San Francisco 49ers in 2018. There were 84 snaps played by a non-Joe Staley/Mike McGlinchey offensive tackle. Each of those went to Gary Gilliam. Coleman went from starting every game with the Cleveland Browns the year before being inactive with the 49ers.
The 49ers acquired Coleman from the Browns in exchange for a 2019 seventh-round draft pick. This year, Coleman is expected to be the swing-tackle.
