On Wednesday evening the San Francisco 49ers had their annual State of the Franchise event, where the coaching staff, general manager John Lynch, and virtually eight of the teams best players spoke about the organization and answered questions on the upcoming season, with about 1,000 fans on hand. Our photographer Ricky Helton was on hand and will be sharing his gallery of photos either later this afternoon or at some point this weekend. Let’s talk about the event, starting the big news.
During the event, Joe Staley signed a two-year contract extension through 2021.
