The San Francisco 49ers wrapped up their Week 11 bye and have begun preparing for this week’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At 2-8, without hopes of a playoff berth, coach Kyle Shanahan has made it clear that the rest of 2018 is about finding out who wants to be a part of the team’s plans in 2019.
“This league doesn’t have patience. I don’t have patience,” Shanahan said. “Who is going to help lead us into next year? Who is going to help finish us this year? There are lots of things that are very important to us, and we want to know, as I always say, who are we dealing with?
