San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan are set to cash in after a successful 2019 campaign.

Both Lynch and Shanahan are in line for what could be lucrative contract extensions this offseason, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

Lynch and Shanahan signed matching six-year deals in 2017 and helped build the team competing in Super Bowl LIV. After they started their tenure with a 10-22 record over two campaigns, San Francisco earned an NFC-best 13-3 record this season.

Behind the duo's offseason success and on-field strategies, the 49ers ranked inside the top four in total offense, total defense, and rushing offense during the regular season.

All parties reportedly hope to have the new contracts finalized prior to the start of the 2020 campaign.
