Golden Nuggets: Football Outsiders debates Frank Gore’s Hall of Fame legitimacy

Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers told the media they ended their offseason program early voluntarily. As it turns out, the NFL Management Council was the reason the 49ers called it quits early after violating the CBA’s rules.

“Well, I strapped him up the first day of practice, I think,” Warner told Greg Papa during the 49ers 2021 State of the Franchise event. ”He came off the line, I put my hands on him, he tried wiggling.”

Kittle remembers it differently.
