The 49ers extended Kyle Shanahan to a new deal two days ago, but it’s not imminent to get a deal done with John Lynch.

After a 10-22 start in his first two seasons, head coach Kyle Shanahan signed an extension with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday that will keep him on board through 2025. Improving his record to 23-25 overall, 2-1 in the playoffs and a Super Bowl bid in three years had a lot to do with the extension.
