Summary
Former 49ers director of player personnel and, most recently, general manager of the Tennessee Titans Ran Carthon sat down with "49ers Talk" co-host Jennifer Lee Chan to dissect the most pressing needs on San Francisco's offseason agenda. As a former front-office stalwart, Carthon takes us behind the scenes of the 49ers' braintrust and provides a unique perspective on how they evaluate talent and negotiate contracts, as well as their overall vision for roster construction. Next, Jennifer and NFL broadcaster Andrew Siciliano discuss the ways the 49ers could approach their biggest needs this offseason -- whether through free agency or the draft -- and how the 49ers can reconcile the rise in the NFL salary cap and players' salary demands with their overall strategy of getting younger and more affordable at impact positions throughout their roster. Also, Matt Maiocco and Jennifer break down the curious market for backup QB Mac Jones and which NFL teams could be in line for a new starting quarterback.
