Kyle Shanahan had a ton of leverage in his negotiations with the San Francisco 49ers, but as he likely prepares to take over as head coach after the Super Bowl, there are questions about what he got out of the negotiations. It seemed likely he would have control of the 53-man roster, and the hiring of John Lynch seemed to make that even more likely. However, there remain questions as to how this will play out. Jim Trotter had this to say:
@EricksonAaron44 If Lynch will have final say on personnel - and he will - the evaluation part is pretty important.
