Titans, Cardinals request permission to interview 49ers' Adam Peters and Ran Carthon for GM jobs

While San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans is expected to be a hot name in head coaching searches, the team could be in danger of losing at least one of its top front-office executives as well. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans have requested permission to speak with 49ers assistant general manager Adam Peters and director of player personnel Ran Carthon.


ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Arizona Cardinals have also requested to interview Peters and Carthon.



Peters has been with the 49ers since 2017, arriving from the Denver Broncos. He started as San Francisco's vice president of player personnel before being promoted to his current role. Peters spent eight seasons (2009-16) in various positions with the Denver Broncos, including director of college scouting.

Carthon also joined the 49ers in 2017 after five seasons (2012-16) as the director of pro personnel with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams. Before that, he spent four seasons (2008-11) as a pro scout with the Atlanta Falcons.
