Although the 49ers are a fantastic squad, they are about to lose a valuable player.
Adam Peters, the 49ers’ unsung hero in the front office, is in high demand as their deputy general manager. As the team prepares to go on a crucial postseason run as the top seed in the NFC, both the Commanders and the Raiders have asked to interview him for their open general manager positions.

It’s also said that Peters has drawn interest from the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders. The 49ers executive has been in great demand following each of the previous three offseasons.
How Crucial is Adam Peters for San Fransico 49ers ?
He turned down invitations for interviews from the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans just a year ago, opting to stay in Santa Clara. It appears that he is not turning down any interviews this year.
After John Lynch was appointed general manager of the 49ers in 2017, Peters signed on and has been a member of the team ever since. Before joining the 49ers, he served in a variety of capacities with the Denver Broncos (2009–16) and the New England Patriots (2003–08). He is currently in his 21st season of play.
Gaining the top NFC seed was the first accomplishment for the San Francisco 49ers in their 2023 season. The squad has won a first-round bye, giving them time to rest, recuperate, and get ready for their postseason run, as they have secured the top seed.
