ESPN's Riddick will interview for 49ers' GM job he wants Twenty-six years after he entered the NFL with the 49ers, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick will have a chance to re-enter the league with the same organization. The 49ers will interview Riddick, 47, a former defensive back who transitioned to personnel executive, next week in New York for their general-manager opening, ESPN reported. Riddick began his six-year career as a ninth-round pick of the 49ers in 1991, but didn't play in a regular-season game. On Monday on ESPN, Riddick said he viewed the 49ers' GM opening as very appealing because it will provide the chance to "start fresh" with a new head coach and an owner in Jed York who has said he's committed to patiently rebuilding a 2-14 team. "Even though it's a daunting task, given the fact that personnel-wise this roster has been depleted, I like the situation that is coming to bear in San Francisco," Riddick said, via NinersNation.com.

Rumors have swirled regarding the situation between the San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is entering his fifth NFL season and is slated to earn $14.124 million on a team-executed fifth-year option. Despite the 49ers publicly declaring a desire to sign Aiyuk to a contract extension, keeping him on the roster for the foreseeable future, many rumors have focused on potential trade interest.
