NFL Notes: Rex Ryan, 49ers, Chargers, Eagles, Jets

Rex Ryan

• John Ourand of SportsBusinessDaily.com reports that former Bills HC Rex Ryan was contacted by CBS, ESPN, FOX and NFL Network almost immediately after he was fired regarding a job in television.
• According to Ourand, Ryan has agreed to sign a deal to appear on “NFL Sunday Countdown” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET on Super Bowl Sunday. The agreement only covers the Super Bowl, but it clearly leaves ESPN as the front-runner to sign Ryan to a longer deal, assuming he doesn’t return to coaching.

49ers

• Jason La Canfora had been hearing that Mark Dominik could be a GM candidate for the 49ers before they hired John Lynch Sunday evening. La Canfora mentions that Dominik was in Tampa with Lynch years ago and wonders if he lands with the 49ers in some role.
• Albert Breer mentions that whoever the 49ers hire underneath Lynch will be vital and sys that Dominik is someone to keep an eye on along with former Dolphins GM Dennis Hickey.
• According to Breer, Dominik and Hickey both watched practices together in Mobile last week, which could be groundwork for those two to reunite in San Francisco.

Chargers

• Alex Marvez of the Sporting News reports that the Chargers are hiring George Stewart as their next special teams coach.

Eagles

• Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com takes a look at five more players who would make sense for the Eagles to target in the coming months.
• Kempski’s list includes: Bears WR Alshon Jeffery, 49ers WR Torrey Smith, Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatrick, Saints OL Tim Lelito and Falcons FB Patrick DiMarco.

 Jets

• Rich Cimini mentions that new Jets OC John Morton was the 49ers’ WRs coach when Colin Kaepernick was playing his best football. With this in mind, Cimini says: “Let the Kap rumors begin.”
