The 49ers filled their special teams coordinator vacancy on Monday by hiring former New York Jets assistant Brant Boyer. Boyer comes with a wealth of experience, having served in the same role for New York for the previous nine seasons. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss Boyer's hiring as well as his connection to newly hired defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, whom Boyer worked under in the same role with the Jets the last three seasons. Boyer will have big decisions this offseason with kicker Jake Moody's inconsistent play and punter Mitch Wishnowsky's health and prohibitive price-tag. Also, Matt and Jennifer break down the 49ers' notable free agents and how the organization should prioritize their potential to re-sign with the team.
