49ers in Green Bay today to interview Wolf and Gutekunst
The San Francisco 49ers are in Green Bay today to interview Packers director of football operations Eliot Wolf and director of college scouting Brian Gutekunst, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Both are being considered for the vacant general manager position.
Wolf joined the Packers as a pro personnel assistant in 2004. He became assistant director of pro personnel in 2008 and assistant director of player personnel in 2011. In 2015, Wolf became the director of player personnel and in March of 2016, he was promoted to his current position with the Packers.
Eliot Wolf is the son of former NFL general manager Ron Wolf. "Most experts seem to think [Eliot] Wolf is next in line to take over the Packers when current GM Ted Thompson, who will be 64 in a few weeks, retires,"
said our own Jason Bertolucci.

I'm not worried about 49ers' Trey Lance...and you shouldn't be either
San Francisco 49ers fans are fed up, and rightfully so, at the way the team's young quarterback Trey Lance is being treated in the media. For months now, there have been rumors and statements, mostly from national media types, designating Lance a bust, or suggesting the 49ers are concerned about him. As you'll recall, Lance only played ten quarters of football last season.
Can ten quarters really tell us anything? Of course not. Especially when it comes to NFL rookies trying to play QB.
It's baffling that this agenda is being pushed. But the ferocity at which it keeps coming is disturbing. Either the 49ers are allowing it because they believe it somehow gives them a competitive advantage, or they're pushing it to keep Jimmy Garopollo a hot commodity on the trade

Albert Breer on 49ers and Jimmy Garoppolo: 'I don't believe the plan right now is to keep him'
Jimmy Garoppolo won't be in attendance as the San Francisco 49ers kick off organized team activities this week. He is still recovering from the shoulder surgery he underwent on March 8 and won't be medically cleared to throw again until late next month or early July.
There has been speculation that the 49ers might be willing to hold onto Garoppolo this season. The team's inability to trade their injured quarterback and unwillingness to release the player outright sparked that speculation.
However, Albert Breer of The MMQB believes San Francisco still intends to offload Garoppolo before the start of the season.
"San Francisco, for what it's worth, has had an open line of communication with Garoppolo's camp the last few months, and both sides are
