Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander is the first candidate to receive a second interview with the Raiders.
On Saturday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport noted on a recent Move The Stick podcast with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks that Chargers assistant general manager Chad Alexander is flying to Las Vegas on Monday for a second in-person interview with the Raiders. Alexander’s first interview with the Raiders was reported just four days ago which leads us to believe they’re currently loving what Alexander has to offer.
Alexander was Joe Hortiz’s first hire after being hired to be the Chargers’ general manager. The...

Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz must decided how to build the Chargers roster for year two via a strong cap situation and eight current draft picks.
The Chargers have a bunch of needs this offseason despite filling several of them with their 2024 draft and free agent class. With a full offseason ahead of Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz, they’ll now have every possible minute given to teams to make their squads better before the 2025 season.
Below, I touch on what I believe to be the Chargers’ biggest needs this offseason and how I’d personally attack each one. Let’s...

Chargers rookies Ladd McConkey and Joe Alt help headline a talent-packed group of first-year players in 2024.
Without a full offseason to prepare for their first draft at the helm of the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz still managed to draft two cornerstone players for the franchise with their first two picks.
Offensive tackle Joe Alt and wide reciever McConkey were outstanding for the Bolts this season as both played key roles in helping the team get to the playoffs after winning just five games a season ago.
Not to be completely ignored,...

The Chargers will play nine games in 2025 against opponents who won at least 10 games in 2024, including the Chiefs, Vikings, and Eagles.
The Chargers have officially announced their home and away opponents for the 2025 season and the team’s recent success will have them facing one of the toughest schedules in the upcoming year.
Most notably, the Chargers will have nine games against opponents who won at least 10 games in 2024. Four of those will come against the Chiefs (15-2) and Broncos (10-7), but the other five will all take place at home against the Eagles (14-3),...

The Chargers snag Michigan TE Colston Loveland and EDGE Josaiah Stewart in The Athletic’s new 2-round mock draft.
We’ve got a new two-round mock draft from one of the best in the business.
The Athletic’s Dane Brugler just dropped a fresh mock following the wild card weekend and you’re not going to believe this, but he’s got the Chargers taking not one, but TWO Michigan players with their first two picks.

The Chargers’ assistant general manager could be a one-and-done in Los Angeles if he impresses the Raiders enough.
After the Chargers hired Joe Hortiz to be their new general manager, one of his first hires to fill out his staff was bringing Chad Alexander to Los Angeles. Alexander had been the Director of Player Personnel for the New York Jets from 2019 through 2023 and had previous been with Hortiz in Baltimore where the former had spent over 20 years in various scouting and front office roles.
Now, after just one season in LA, Alexander is already receiving interview requests...

Jim Harbaugh left the Chargers’ Week 6 matchup with the Broncos when he had a flare-up with his atrial flutter. Jesse Minter was the interim head coach for that short time.
The offseason isn’t just for players to have necessary procedures and surgeries to get right following a long, physically-taxing football season. Coaches apparently need the time to do the same.
On Wednesday during Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz’s end-of-season press conference, the Chargers’ first-year head coach told reporters that he will undergo two procedures this offseason: A cardiac ablation and a hip replacement.
Harbaugh left the team’s Week Six...

Najee Harris has recorded at least 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first four seasons in the NFL.
The Chargers are officially in offseason mode. That means all eyes are on the upcoming free agent period and the 2025 NFL Draft.
Despite winning 11 games this season, there are plenty of positions that need an upgrade. One position that Pro Football Focus specifically believes needs to be updated — and can feasibly be upgraded — during this year’s free agency period is running back.
Now I’ve been on record saying that I believe J.K. Dobbins is a starting back...
