49ers players team vice president Martin Mayhew is going to Washington to work in his front office

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that San Francisco 49ers team vice president Martin Mayhew is going to Washington as a senior executive with a position to be determined.

Mayhew’s title will determine whether or not 49ers will receive a free choice. Here’s how the NFL drafted the Rooney rule adjustments:

Primary is the keyword here. If Mayhew is named a “chief football executive”, San Francisco will receive a compensatory choice in the third round. Once Washington finds out Mayhew’s title, we’ll have a better idea of ​​whether or not the team will be given an extra choice in the third round. Do the right thing, Washington, and appoint a chief executive!

Washington hired Marty Hurney as general manager on Tuesday, so that position is not available to Mayhew. There is a bit of a gray area with the way the NFL drafted how it is rewarding choices, so instead of taking on one or the other, all we can do is wait and see. I believe that the Niners will not be given a choice, as Mayhew was not named GM of Washington.

Anyway, congratulations to Mayhew, and I imagine that if he is leaving the vice president of personnel for players in San Francisco, he will have a higher position on the Washington frontline.
