NFL Notes: 49ers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles, Vikings

49ers

• Matt Barrows mentions that the news of Josh McDaniels bowing out of the running for the 49ers’ HC job could be a blow to Louis Riddick’s odds of securing the team’s GM position.

Chiefs

• Terez Paylor reports that Chiefs veteran OLB Tamba Hali intends to play at least one more season.

Cowboys

“I’m in my 14th year, and you know there’s a shelf life for everybody,” Witten said, via Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News. “You put everything you have into it, and when you come up short it’s tough. It’s not about a paycheck. … I’ll take time to reflect on it. I love this team and this group of guys and so, yeah, that will be the plan for sure.”
