"I talked [Monday] to John York, the 49ers owner, and thanked him for his serious consideration," Anderson said. "We mutually determined that the timing wasn't quite right for what they needed timing-wise and what the Falcons needed timing-wise."
Anderson, who is already involved in planning for the NFL Draft and free agency, felt that he had became too involved in helping shape the Falcons' roster for next season.
Anderson is the lead contract negotiator, salary cap manager and legal administrator for the team.
