Chargers News: Bolts Put In Request To Interview New York Giants Assistant For GM Vacancy

The Chargers are casting a very wide net.

Your Los Angeles Chargers are wasting no time with the NFL season now over, at least for them. Los Angeles missed the playoffs with a paltry 5-12 finish, and their offseason has now begun.

The franchise will need to find a new head coach and general manager this offseason, and they've already started looking around. The team has been active in requesting interviews for the two open spots, and we can add another name to the list.

The Chargers have put in a request to interview New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown for their open general manager job. He will also be interviewing with the Carolina Panthers as well.

Brown was hired by New York in 2022 after spending five years with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was the team's player personnel director, mainly tasked with overseeing the professional scouting department. 

He has experience as an advanced scout and scoring assistant as well. Brown spent time with the Indianapolis Colts prior to joining the Eagles organization.

Brown seems to have a good eye for talent and has been a key piece in helping turn things around for the Giants. While New York didn't make the postseason this year, they did surprise everyone last season to make the playoffs.

The Chargers are doing their due diligence with their open positions, and this is the correct way to go about it all. They have to get the hires correct this offseason, if anything, to avoid any more wasted seasons. 

The pressure is certainly on ownership to find the right people for the position, but this is also a hopeful time. The Bolts are a sleeping giant, just waiting for the correct leadership to wake them up.
