It sounds like Ethan Waugh's role as the San Francisco 49ers' vice president of player personnel will be short-lived. He was promoted from director of college scouting and football systems this offseason. According to ESPN's Nick Wagoner, Waugh has an offer from Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke to serve as the team's assistant general manager.
"He is expected to take it after the draft barring any snags, per league source," wrote Wagoner.
