Overview
- Speaking Monday in Phoenix at the NFL owners' meeting, York said Kyle Shanahan has about three years left on his contract and John Lynch roughly two, and he wants both to stay long term.
- York stressed that any extensions or future roles will follow what Shanahan and Lynch want, reflecting a strong working relationship rather than ownership pressure.
- Reporting from the meetings says neither the head coach nor the general manager is on a hot seat as they start their 10th season together.
- Separately, John Lynch said talks to restructure left tackle Trent Williams’ deal have intensified to ease a cap charge near $47 million, adding he feels they are close to a positive outcome.
- Restructuring can convert salary into bonus to lower this year’s cap hit, which could open space for roster moves as a regime that has reached two Super Bowls since 2017 tries to finish the job.
