Trent Baalke discussed Chip Kelly hiring, own status with Peter King

The coming year will feature plenty of discussion and speculation about how Chip Kelly and Trent Baalke will get along. It will take some time to figure it out, but in the meantime, we get sound bytes. The latest comes from a brief discussion Trent Baalke had with SI NFL writer Peter King. It was included in King's weekly Monday Morning Quarterback column.

King focused first on the connection Tom Gamble provides to Kelly and Baalke. King said Baalke told him Gamble "was the key man in turning San Francisco on to Kelly."

"I talked to my most trusted agent, Tom Gamble, and I got the answers to every question I had," said Baalke.
