Titans hiring Ran Carthon as new GM, 49ers to receive comp draft picks

Jan 17, 2023 at 2:57 PM--


The Tennessee Titans are reportedly hiring San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel Ran Carthon as their new general manager, per Dianna Russini. That's a significant loss to general manager John Lynch's staff.


The good news is that the NFL will award the 49ers 2023 and 2024 compensatory picks as part of the league's minority-hiring incentive program.


Carthon has been with the 49ers since 2017. He was named the team's director of player personnel last year after serving as the team's director of pro personnel. Carthon directs the evaluation of players across professional leagues and the collegiate level while performing advanced scouting of the 49ers' upcoming opponents. He also helps prepare the team for acquisitions through free agency, trades, and the daily waiver wire.

Carthon previously worked as the director of pro personnel with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2012-16) and as a pro scout for the Atlanta Falcons (2008-11). He is a former NFL running back signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2004, playing with the club through 2006.

By Rohan Chakravarthi

The San Francisco 49ers will finally return to Levi's Stadium in Week 3 for their home opener, where they'll host the New York Giants in a Thursday Night Football showdown in hopes of improving to 3-0. Heading into the game, the 49ers are seen as ten-point favorites, with the over/under placed at 44.5 points per game, as the Giants will be without star running back Saquon Barkley, left tackle Andrew Thomas, outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari, and left guard Ben Bredeson on the road. In a weekly installment, I'll be dishing out some fun predictions on the game, rather than just providing an outright winner, although that will still continue in certain close games. This week, I've got six intriguing predictions, with some for the 49ers and others for the

Anthony Brown eager to help new 49ers teammates beat Giants

By David Bonilla

The San Francisco 49ers signed Anthony Brown this week, and the cornerback is ready to help his new teammates defeat the New York Giants. However, that help may not come from Brown taking the field on Thursday night. Brown spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, so he is familiar with the Niners' upcoming opponent, having played in the NFC East for many years. Brown was a starter for Dallas until suffering a torn Achilles in December. "Just getting here, so I'm just trying to basically tell the guys as much as I can, and if they have any questions on little tips and little pointers," Brown told Larry Krueger this week. "The Giants pretty much show up every week in their game plan, and trying to help the corners and DBs as much as I

Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia. Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook. Not awful anymore Back in June, Deebo Samuel caught some attention with his honest description of his 2022 performance
