There\u2019s been some speculation about the future 49ers GM John Lynch<\/a> and HC Kyle Shanahan.\u00a0During an appearance on\u00a0The Rich Eisen Show<\/a>, NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero made it clear that Lynch and Shanahan are going nowhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see a world where John Lynch<\/a> ever gets fired by the 49ers. Same thing with Kyle Shanahan,\u201d Pelissero said. \u201cThey have stabilized that franchise \u2026 The 49ers are competitive year after year. They certainly, I think it\u2019s fair to say, have supplemented a lot through trades and at times free agency because they\u2019ve had some misses in the draft.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rams made some big moves this offseason, like acquiring CB Trent McDuffie<\/a> and signing CB Jaylen Watson<\/a>. Los Angeles HC Sean McVay reflected on their moves, noting that recently signed LB Grant Stuard<\/a> will make an impact on their defense, having primarily contributed to special teams throughout his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to address some needs in free agency,\u201d McVay said, via RamsWire<\/a>. \u201cWe were able to sign Jaylen Watson<\/a> and obviously trade for McDuffie. You add a long snapper, you add Grant Stuard<\/a>, who\u2019s a special teams stud \u2013 and he\u2019ll find a way to probably be able to contribute defensively, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brady Henderson of ESPN<\/a> notes that Seahawks RG Anthony Bradford is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and he will be competing against fifth-round G Beau Stephens for the starting job.
\nAccording to Henderson, Bradford trained with private OL coach Duke Manyweather following the season, and showed up to Seattle\u2019s offseason program \u201cin good shape.\u201d
\nIn the end, Henderson writes that Bradford still looks like the favorite to win the job.<\/p>\n
