NFL Notes: 49ers, Bills, Broncos, Cardinals, Eagles, Giants, & Ravens

49ers

49ers HC Jim Harbaugh refuted the idea that he has asked to be the highest-paid coach in the NFL in an interview with Jason Cole.  

“For the record, I have never asked to be the highest-paid coach in football,” Harbaugh said. “I have never asked to be paid like a Super Bowl-winning coach. I have never asked for more power. Nor has anybody asked for those things on my behalf, which anybody in this organization can attest to, and all the focus will be on the 2014 season and achieving our goals of the team.“
