The Chargers put in a request to interview Saints assistant GM Jeff Ireland for their vacant general manager position, according to Matthew Paras of the The Times-Picayune.
Ireland was up for the Bears GM job back in 2022 but, obviously, did not get the opportunity. Ireland has previously served as the general manager for the Miami Dolphins, but was fired in 2013 after five seasons. He’s given credit for building up this current Saints roster. In eight drafts, he’s been instrumental in drafting Alvin Kamara, Marshon Lattimore, Chris Olave, Ryan Ramczyk and Michael Thomas, among others.
