Jaguars Hire Former 49ers GM Trent Baalke To Front Office

According to Tom Pelissero, the Jaguars have hired former 49ers GM Trent Baalke to their front office. 

“We expect him to get involved immediately as we make decisions on our current roster and approach free agency,” Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said, via Ian Rapoport.

Baalke will be the director of player personnel in Jacksonville. He has worked for the NFL for the past few years since being fired from San Francisco. 

Baalke, 55, began working for the Jets as a personnel scout in 1998 before joining the Redskins 2001. After four years in Washington, Baalke was hired as the 49ers’ Western region scout and worked his way up to general manager. 

Baalke was named Executive of the Year by the Pro Football Writers Association back in 2011 after the team won 13 games. He spent six years in the position but was fired in 2017 after another disappointing season.

During his tenure with the 49ers, the team produced a record of 57-31-1, which includes three playoff appearances and a conference title in 2012.
