McKenzie worked for the Packers from 1994-2011 before becoming the Oakland GM. A former colleague said McKenzie’s affinity for the NFL’s smallest city isn’t as strong, and he signed a four-year extension last summer.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers reportedly have completed six of nine scheduled interviews for their vacant GM position. Last week, Eliot Wolf and Brian Gutekunst were the first to be interviewed.
