A scenario is being considered where Jed York becomes an absentee owner of the 49ers. This could potentially affect his relationship with key team members. York's presence, or lack thereof, in a certain location might lead to feelings of disassociation from certain individuals.

The individuals in question are Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, who have deep ties to the team. If York is not present, these ties could be tested.

Further details about this scenario and its potential implications are available from the source, which explores the possibilities and potential consequences of York's absence.
