Titans Search for New GM (Candidates) List on Page 1

Ran Carthon, 49ers director of player personnel: Carthon interviewed for the Giants, Bears and Steelers jobs last year, and helped build winners with the Falcons, Rams and now the Niners. Along the way, the 41-year-old former NFL running back, who played with Peyton Manning in Indy, has worked for some of the league’s most forward-thinking personnel departments, while maintaining roots in old-school scouting as a second-generation NFL guy.
 

Glenn Cook, Browns assistant GM: The former University of Miami linebacker interviewed for the Vikings’ and Bears’ openings last year, and despite Cleveland’s uneven year is a name you’ll continue to hear connected to jobs because of the reputation he has in scouting circles. Cook learned the business under executives Ted Thompson and Bill Polian, and having worked in an analytically sound organization under Browns GM Andrew Berry should help him with owners.

 

Ian Cunningham, Bears assistant GM: Chicago hasn’t had a great year, but Cunningham’s very clearly viewed as a future GM—if a year or two away. He learned under Ozzie Newsome in Baltimore, and rose there to become Southeast area scout (Newsome views that role as a big one organizationally), then helped to rework the Eagles’ roster as their college scouting director, eventually becoming director of player personnel before jumping to the Bears last winter.
 

Adam Peters, 49ers assistant GM: Peters would be a top name if this was a ranking—he was runner-up for the Giants' job last year, and the Maras raved about how the Niners exec was like Schoen—very complete as a personnel man, with command over every level of a football operation. Peters has rings from New England and Denver, and has had a presence in helping put together what’s arguably the best roster in football.

I wish there was a log of what personnel guys were responsible for which players.

Well from what I’ve read so far Adam Peters is a big fan of Trey Lance and really wants to build the team around him.. Also Shanahan and Lynch have been battling over personnel decisions. So I could see Peters wanting to stay put if they let go of Lynch so he can run his favorite team that he grew up being a fan of

Peters seems like the best of that bunch, for what we need.  Cunningham, surprisingly, with how bad the Bears are, seems like a pretty close second to me.

peters was in new england for 6 years while vrabel was a player. have to imagine he will be a very strong contender for the job.
