Report: Assistant general manager for the 49ers Peters is a finalist for the executive position at Commanders.

The Washington Commanders have reportedly prioritized two external candidates for their head of football operations role, including 49ers assistant general manager Adam Peters and Chicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham. Peters, who is in his third season with San Francisco and 21st overall in the NFL, has been crucial to the team’s scouting efforts. The Commanders plan to include limited partners such as Magic Johnson, David Blitzer, and Mitch Rales in second interviews with finalists. The 49ers are keen to keep Peters, as they want a piece of the Bay Area’s success.
