Overview
- Miami has requested permission to interview Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander for its general manager vacancy, according to multiple reports.
- Alexander is the eighth publicly known candidate as the team also engages executives from the 49ers, Packers, Eagles and Rams, with the Packers’ Jon-Eric Sullivan reportedly meeting Tuesday.
- Alexander, 49, is in his 26th NFL season after 20 years in Baltimore’s scouting department, five with the Jets as director of player personnel, and his first year with the Chargers.
- Owner Stephen Ross, team president Tom Garfinkel, senior VP Brandon Shore, and Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Troy Aikman are involved in interviews, and some candidates reportedly have not been informed of McDaniel’s job status.
- No timeline has been announced for a hire, and the franchise continues to navigate roster uncertainty at quarterback after Tua Tagovailoa was benched late for rookie Quinn Ewers.
