SANTA CLARA -- San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York wrote a memo to the team’s staff on Friday morning to address the report that team president Paraag Marathe would be reassigned after the Super Bowl.
Bob Lange, the 49ers vice president of communications, shared the memo and asked that the letter run its entirety. Here is that memo, which also contains information about 49ers chief operating officer Al Guido:

By now I am sure most of you have seen reports of some transition in our front office, and I apologize that we were unable to communicate with you directly prior to certain information reaching the media. Our original intent was to formalize the transition following the Super Bowl.
As many of you may have seen in recent months, Paraag and Al’s roles within the organization have been evolving.
In addition to his longstanding responsibilities in football operations as the team’s chief contract negotiator and head of our analytics department, Paraag has chosen to take a leadership role in the organization’s new ventures efforts. As you know, Paraag has been the lead in our partnership with the Sacramento Republic FC soccer team and was instrumental in developing and launching VenueNext. We anticipate great things to come from our new ventures wing as it continues to grow.

Despite how some have chosen to portray this transition in the media, I want you to know that Paraag has been and will continue to be an instrumental member of this organization. Without his contributions over the last 15 years, the successes achieved by this organization would not have been possible.
Sincerely,
Jed
