The 49ers won’t lose the vice president of the players ’staff, Adam Peters, but they will losing player staff vice president Martin Mayhew to the Washington football team by Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.
Mayhew’s role in Washington is unknown, but he will not take over as general manager, as the team is hired for that position by Marty Hurney.
Since Hurney will take over as general manager, Mayhew’s departure means the 49ers will not be rewarded with a compensatory third-round draft pick. Rooney’s broad rule requires hiring minority candidates to fill senior coach and general manager positions to receive these additional drafts.
Athletic’s Matt Barrows wrote that San Francisco does not expect any compensation.
Mayhew joined the 49ers reception in 2017 as a senior executive. He received a promotion to VP of player staff before the 2019 season. Before arriving in San Francisco, Mayhew spent a year in the New York Giants office. Previously, he was with the Detroit Lions for 15 seasons, including seven as general manager.
