49ers expected to bolster front office with returning executive
“The Jaguars parted ways with Waugh last month, shortly after the 2025 NFL Draft. He had been with the organization since 2022, serving under former general manager Trent Baalke as part of the previous regime.
Waugh was named interim general manager following Baalke’s departure and was among the candidates who interviewed for the permanent position. However, the Jaguars ultimately named James Gladstone as Baalke’s successor.
Wilson did not specify what role Waugh is expected to assume upon his return to San Francisco. He previously served as the 49ers’ vice president of player personnel from 2021 to 2022, following three seasons as director of college scouting and football systems.
