The Jacksonville Jaguars have interviewed San Francisco 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams for the team’s open general manager position, according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Per Schefter, Williams is the first candidate the Jaguars have interviewed for the position, which was opened when Jacksonville fired Trent Baalke.
Williams has been with the 49ers for more than a decade but was only promoted to the director of scouting and football operations position before the 2024 season. Before that, he climbed the ranks in scouting. He has previously worked as an area scout and national scout with the team.
