The San Francisco 49ers must pay their quarterback, and they should pat George Kittle on the back for his award. Also, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan added a former Colts defensive coordinator to his staff, according to a post on X by Tom Pelissero.
Bradley doesn’t bring recent success to the 49ers. Under his watch with the Colts, the team went from No. 5 in the NFL in sacks all the way down to No. 25 this season. The Colts also posted finishes of 24th (points allowed) and 29th (yards allowed per game).
However, Bradley earned street credit during his days in Seattle, helping sculpt the “Legion of Boom” defense from 2009-12.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan hoping to improve defense
Shanahan turned the defense over to Saleh, who had the unit humming from 2017-20 as the team’s defensive coordinator. Saleh moved on to become head coach of the New York Jets from 2021-24. The Jets cut bait with Saleh after just five games this season.
