49ers fire ex-Eagles personnel executive Tom Gamble

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - A year after he was promoted to assistant general manager, Tom Gamble is leaving the 49ers.

Gamble, who had two stints with the 49ers, was re-hired by then-general manager Trent Baalke in 2015 and promoted last year. The team parted ways with Baalke at season's end and hired John Lynch as his replacement. Lynch, in turn, has hired two others with front office experience, Adam Peters and Martin Mayhew.

In a statement, Lynch said the 49ers have "tremendous respect" for Gamble.

"He is a class act who has helped a great deal in this transition, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him," he said.
