For most of last week, a common thought was the San Francisco 49ers had narrowed down their general manager search down to two candidates — Minnesota Vikings assistant GM George Paton and Arizona Cardinals vice president of player personnel Terry McDonough.
But, according to Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area, a third name has emerged in the attempt to replace former Niners GM Trent Baalke.
Citing a source close to the situation, Maiocco reported San Francisco might be honing in on ESPN analyst Mark Dominik, who has ties with assumed head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Shanahan and Dominik worked together with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers between 2004 and 2005, according to the report.
