Jaguars Hire Rams' James Gladstone as NFL’s Youngest General Manager

The 34-year-old executive will lead Jacksonville's front office after an extensive hiring process, reuniting with head coach Liam Coen.

James Gladstone, previously the Rams' director of scouting strategy, was selected from a pool of five finalists to become the Jaguars' new general manager.
At 34 years old, Gladstone is now the youngest GM in the NFL, bringing a reputation for successful talent evaluation from his time in Los Angeles.
The Jaguars' leadership team, including first-time head coach Liam Coen and EVP Tony Boselli, aims to rebuild the franchise after a 4-13 season in 2024.
Gladstone’s immediate priorities include preparing for the NFL Scouting Combine and building a competitive roster around quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
The 49ers retain Josh Williams, a finalist for the Jaguars' GM role, maintaining stability in their front office but missing out on compensatory draft picks tied to his potential hiring.
