Per multiple league sources, the Cleveland Browns nearly pulled off a trade with the 49ers for the rights to coach Jim Harbaugh.
A deal that would have sent multiple draft picks to San Francisco was in place between the teams. But Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers.
I knew there was some tension between Harbaugh and Baalke but to go as far as trading him.....that's unbelievable.

Jed York tweeted to PFT that it was false, so who knows.

All i have to say about all of this is WOW
But i'm glad Jim is still here (for now) & hopefully this tension between Jim & Trent doesn't get in the way of our play next season. I know those two butt heads a lot but man, the Browns? Really?

Hopefully this was just Jim trying to gain leverage in a contract extension. Losing Harbaugh would be huge. He IS the Niners in a way. He established the culture here. Baalke needs to chill out.

I believe that they talked, but I find it unlikely they got to a really advanced stage.
Most likely it was Harbaugh trying to gain leverage.
