Lynn is also scheduled to interview with the Miami Dolphins, after the Bills granted him permission to do so on Monday. The 47-year-old former NFL running back played for the 49ers from 1995-96. You can catch up with the reactions of 49ers and Dolphins fans to the news of Lynn's interviews at Niners Nation and The Phinsider.
It's an interesting pair of teams to be showing interest in Lynn, for sure. The Dolphins are a divisional foe with a brand new general manager in Chris Grier. Lynn spent the past year working under Greg Roman on the Bills' coaching staff; Roman was part of the 49ers' mass coaching exodus last winter after Jim Harbaugh departed.
