PHOENIX — Those who closely follow the 49ers were advised to have their heads on a swivel during the NFL Annual Meeting.

General manager John Lynch, coach Kyle Shanahan and principal owner Jed York provided plenty of headlines over the past couple of days.

The 49ers were among the most talked-about teams during the gathering of all decision-makers from each of the league’s 32 teams.

Here are the top five 49ers takeaways as the 49ers conclude the first section of the offseason and shift their focus toward the 2026 NFL Draft:

No hot seat for GM, coach

Lynch and Shanahan are not facing any pressure from 49ers ownership entering their 10th season together.

Shanahan has three seasons remaining on his contract, York said, while Lynch’s deal is set to expire after the 2027 season.

“I want Kyle to be here for a long time,” York said. “He’s been here for a long time and I want him to be here even longer. I want J.L. to be here for a long time.”

Shanahan, 46, will pull even with Bill Walsh for the longest-tenured head coach in franchise history at the end of the season.

And he said he is not ready to step aside any time soon.

“I love coaching,” Shanahan said. “Even though I’ve looked like I’ve aged 10 years, because I physically have aged 10 years. But I still feel good. My family still loves it. I think they would kill me if I was home a lot more, so we got a good balance, and I love being with the Niners.”

Shanahan and Lynch inherited a dreadful team in 2017 after coach Chip Kelly and general manager Trent Baalke were fired.

After going 10-22 in the first two seasons with Shanahan and Lynch, the team is 72-45 under their leadership over the past seven seasons.

The 49ers have made the playoffs in five of the seasons with a 9-5 postseason record. The organization has not added to its total of five Super Bowl titles since the 1994 season.

And, York suggested, this is definitely not a Super Bowl-or-else season for Shanahan and Lynch.

49ers go with Evans over Jennings

The 49ers were widely praised for their ability to attract veteran wide receiver Mike Evans as a free agent after he spent his first 12 NFL seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“Things worked out with Mike,” Lynch said. “I thought we got him on a good deal. He really wanted to be a part of our organization, and that’s humbling.”

The 49ers have overhauled their wide receiver corps from where it stood just two seasons ago. Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings gave the 49ers a formidable top three wideouts.

Now, they have Evans, veteran Christian Kirk and Ricky Pearsall, the 27th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Meanwhile, Samuel, Aiyuk and Jennings face uncertain futures.

Aiyuk remains under contract to the 49ers. In spite of York’s comments that he would like to see Aiyuk remain with the team, that does not appear to be a possibility. The 49ers are holding onto his rights as they aim to get something in return for him in a trade.

One year after the 49ers traded Samuel to Washington, he remains unsigned as a free agent. Jennings is also unsigned, as he might have misjudged his value on the open market.

The 49ers and Jennings failed to reach an agreement on a contract extension before the 2025 season. In signing Evans and Kirk for a price tag of a little more than $17 million total, the 49ers got two players for what they offered Jennings, a league source told NBC Sports Bay Area.

Taking health measures

Other teams might have sustained more injuries than the 49ers last season. But no team saw as many key players sidelined as the 49ers.

The 49ers have taken action this offseason to address the concerns of the players, who did not give high marks to the team’s “training room” and “training staff” in the players’ union survey.

The 49ers are in the midst of a $9 million project to improve the team’s hydro-therapy area within Levi’s Stadium, Lynch said. Also, the 49ers are adding to their training staff with the three new physical therapists coming aboard, Lynch said.

Also, Lynch said the 49ers commissioned a study with an independent scientist to determine whether there was any legitimacy to an internet conspiracy theory about a nearby electrical substation contributing to the team’s injury situation.

“It was basically a big nothing burger,” Lynch said. “We’re safe.”

Lynch said the readings of the electromagnetic field showed the 49ers’ facility was 400 times less than what is generally considered an unsafe environment.

The substation predated the 49ers’ move to their Santa Clara practice facility in 1988, though the power from the substation was increased when Levi’s Stadium opened in 2014.

Despite their recent history of injuries, that did not prevent the 49ers from adding players with recent injury histories this offseason. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw returned after one season with the Denver Broncos. The 49ers signed other players who missed time last season with injuries, such as Evans, Kirk, offensive lineman Robert Jones and cornerback Nate Hobbs.

“Ideally, you’d always want to sign some brand new, young, healthy guys,” Shanahan said. “But that’s not what’s always available at the store.”

Racking up the air miles

Shanahan did not even attempt to hide his lack of enthusiasm for the 49ers playing in Melbourne, Australia, in Week 1 of the regular season.

The 49ers and their opponent, the Los Angeles Rams, are located a short flight from each other. But both will travel approximately 16 hours to play a crucial NFC West game.

That is a significant con. Are there any pros?

“I don’t see any,” Shanahan said. “I mean, it’s cool for the league to play globally. I think that’s awesome, but as far as the team doing it, you know, there’s not much benefit to it.”

The word at the NFL Annual Meeting is that the 49ers have requested a Week 2 game at home on Sunday night. Then, they have asked for a short road trip in Week 3 — most likely against Arizona or the Los Angeles Chargers.

Later in the season, the 49ers will play a second international game — this one in Mexico City. That game is expected to take place Sunday, Nov. 22. The 49ers have blocked Las Vegas and Denver from being their opponents, according to league sources.

As the designated home team, the 49ers want to maximize their advantage. The Raiders have a strong fan base in Mexico, and the Broncos would have an advantage in dealing with the high elevation. The Miami Dolphins are viewed as the favorite to serve as the 49ers’ opponent, according to multiple sources. The league is expected to announce the entire NFL regular-season schedule in mid-May.

Williams big piece to offseason puzzle

Lynch expressed optimism that the 49ers will come to a contractual agreement with 12-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams before the NFL Draft in late April.

“I would say in the last week, it’s kind of intensified,” Lynch said of the negotiations with Williams’ representation. “Feel like we are on the precipice of something good happening, but we’ll see.”

The sides are likely working on a solution for Williams to get guaranteed money added to his contract while the 49ers aim to lower his salary-cap figure from its currently scheduled amount of $46.34 million.

Lynch made it clear the 49ers expect Williams to remain with the club for at least another year.

Assuming the 49ers close the deal with Williams, every position on the 49ers’ offensive line is set except for left guard.

Lynch said the 49ers plan to add to the competition for that vacant starting job in the draft. The 49ers mentioned Jones, Brett Toth, Connor Colby and Nick Zakelj as competitors for the starting job.

But one source told NBC Sports Bay Area the 49ers would love to add a Day 1 starting guard via the draft.
