Carthon, a former NFL running back, has also been in the 49ers front office for six seasons and in his current role for two seasons. He interviewed with the Giants, Bears and Steelers for their respective GM openings last offseason.

Cowden is the interim GM and executive vice president of player personnel, holding the latter title since 2018.

The Steelers reportedly interviewed him twice for their opening last summer.
Ossenfort spent 14 seasons as a scout and executive with the Patriots before joining the Titans three seasons ago. Ossenfort's first three years in New England as a scout coincided with the final three years of Titans coach Mike Vrabel's stint with the Patriots.
