The Vikings assistant general manager could have two suitors after the Colts requested permission to interview him for their GM opening. The 49ers will use the meeting partly to see how Paton connects with Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, their presumptive head coach. On Sunday, the NFL Network reported CEO Jed York does not view the issue of roster control as a "major issue" and hasn't determined whether Shanahan or the GM will have final say on football matters. Kirchner and Fitterer were only interested in the 49ers' opening if Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable was hired, a source said.
