Chargers Targeting Joe Hortiz As Next General Manager

10 months ago

The Los Angeles Chargers are targeting Baltimore Ravens director of player personnel Joe Hortiz as their new general manager, according to sources. Hortiz will be paired with new head coach Jim Harbaugh in LA. The 48-year-old has been with the Ravens for the last 26 years, starting as a football personnel assistant and holding his current role since 2019. He oversaw both college and pro scouting for the Ravens and helped general manager Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh, Jim's brother. Hortiz and Harbaugh's relationship will be among the biggest questions that Harbaugh and the team's leadership will have to answer, as Harbaugh's fractured relationship with 49ers GM Trent Baalke from 2011-14 eventually led to his exit from the NFL. Hortiz will be replacing Tom Telesco, who was the Chargers' GM for the last 11 seasons.
