The 10-year deal the league and players agreed to that ended the 2011 lockout gave either side the right to opt out after six years. With the league projecting financial growth, there has been speculation that players will take that option in three years, especially since a new national TV contract will be in place by then.SANTA CLARA, Calif. - As if there werent already enough humiliating elements to San Franciscos lopsided loss to its biggest rival on Thanksgiving night, owner Jed York weighed in on an effort he said wasnt acceptable.Cassie Baalke, daughter of general manager Trent Baalke, called for offensive co-ordinator Greg Romans ouster before quickly deleting her Twitter post and later closing the account altogether.Trent Baalke issued a statement Friday saying he and Cassie had apologized to Roman.My daughter and I both regret that her feelings got the best of her after last nights game and that she chose social media as an avenue to express her feelings. We have apologized to Greg for this unfortunate matter, Baalke said. While disappointed, as a father I will use this as a teachable moment to help my daughter grow.Just when the 49ers had some nice momentum as they approached the seasons final month, it all went away in a matter of four hours in a 19-3 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night at Levis Stadium.San Franciscos playoff hopes dwindled in the process.Any time you lose, its a low point, wide receiver Anquan Boldin said. But well bounce back.The offence was awful. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick had one of his worst games as a pro. Richard Sherman and the Seattle Seahawks celebrated all over the home field that hardly offered much advantage when fans left in early.We celebrate every play. Even when they get a catch and its a great hit, we celebrate that. They didnt even understand that, Sherman said. They were getting frustrated that we were celebrating those plays, but that happens when youre a team and youre together.Whats next for these downtrodden Niners? Coach Jim Harbaugh spoke about a reboot.The speculation is running rampant again that he might get the boot following season four of his $25 million, five-year contract he signed in January 2011.Any day-after thoughts would have to wait.

Whatever is going on upstairs or in the next room, I leave it up to them, tight end Vernon Davis said. I just stay in my corner and do what I am supposed to do and control the things I can control.Harbaugh is not immune to the constant chatter about his future, though he has been steadfast in staying the course of winning each week — a one-game season mantra recently started by Boldin — though this could get ugly in a hurry if the 49ers cant clean things up.In their next game Dec. 7, they will make the short trip to Oakland to face a Raiders team that heads into Sundays game at St. Louis with a 1-10 record.While the timing of Yorks public Twitter apology was strange, nobody in the losing locker room could really argue with him.
