49ers will meet with Panthers’ Brandon Beane next week for GM job

Jan 5, 2017 at 12:54 PM--


Next week, the San Francisco 49ers will meet with Carolina Panthers assistant general manager Brandon Beane next week for their vacant general manager position. News of the meeting was first reported by Peter Schrager of FOX Sports.


In 2012, he served as the Panthers' interim general manager for the final 10 games of the season prior to the hiring of Dave Gettleman, the team's current general manager. Carolina promoted Beane to assistant general manager in June of 2015.

Prior to the promotion, Beane spent seven seasons as the team's director of football operations. He has been responsible for directing portions of the team's drafts, putting together the team's draft boards for the past five years and helping to execute trades for cornerback Bene Benwikere, wide receiver Devin Funchess and offensive tackle Daryl Williams.

The 49ers already have a visit with Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott scheduled for next week. It is safe to say that the two will be met with within the same timeframe.

Despite the comfortable win, the 49ers were nowhere near the "A-Game" offensively, struggling on some early drives and kicking field goals when touchdown opportunities were present, ultimately showcasing how dangerous this offense could be. While there were missed opportunities present last Thursday, another element that the 49ers were missing was emerging wideout Brandon Aiyuk, who was inactive due to a shoulder

The San Francisco 49ers improved to 4-0 with a dominant performance against the Arizona Cardinals, winning 35-16 via a four-touchdown performance from Christian McCaffrey and an outstanding day from quarterback Brock Purdy, who broke the franchise record for completion percentage in a single game with 20+ attempts. However, one offensive performance that went a little under the radar was the dominance of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who caught six passes for a career-high 148 yards, including two catches of 30+ yards (42 and 34 yards respectively). Aiyuk now has two 100-yard

On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers looked dominant in their 35-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Several players had standout performances, including quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey. Another was wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, whose exceptional performance earned him the game's highest overall grade (93.4) from Pro Football Focus. The grade doubles as the highest of the receiver's career. Aiyuk is proving to be one of the NFL's rising stars, which will aid him next offseason when he seeks a contract extension with the 49ers.
