The NFL world is WILD both on and off the field. From some of the most stunning trades to incredible plays on the field, it’s just action-packed. Even in the NFL off-season, new signings and trades add spice to the league. Many players switch teams, and some new ones even interview with prominent teams to get a chance to prove themselves. While there isn’t much information about how interviews work in the NFL, there is always some leak. One such leak was recently made by the Chargers‘ 22-year-old offensive tackle about a bizarre question an NFL GM asked him.

This player is none other than Joe Alt, who was in talks with several organizations before joining LA. Alt appeared on Green Light with Chris Long, where he discussed more about these interviews and his NFL journey. The man startled everyone by revealing a chat he had with one of the team’s general managers. Alt never revealed the identity of the team but claimed that the GM began to blame the OT’s criminal history.

The OT disclosed that the GM was trying to frame him rather than asking him about his past. The team’s general manager was constantly questioning whether the future Chargers star was sure that he didn’t have any records. The GM’s allegations were so sure as if he’d heard something or had proof that Joe Alt committed a crime. Interestingly, when Alt went outside after the interview, he began to question whether or not he had done anything.

The Chargers star explained the story, “I won’t name the team but there’s one interview where I sat in there and it was toward the end and it was the GM. He goes, ‘So you’re a goody two shoes huh, you got nothing going on?’. He goes ‘You ever been in like a police trouble?’. I am like, ‘Not Really’. You know and he’s like ‘You haven’t done anything?’ I am like ‘No I haven’t done anything’ And he was like ‘Oh so you’re one of them goody two shoes.'”

This was one of the most funny incidents that any rookie has ever encountered. Chris Long laughed hard, adding that based on the story, it appears like the GM wanted Joe Alt to do something horrible. While there is no name for any team capable of doing so, people have begun to speculate that the Raiders are most likely behind it. And maybe John Spytek is indeed someone who can ask questions like this.

But, nothing can be said because the Chargers’ offensive tackle never mentioned any name. As a result, there is a lot of buzz around him, and people are now interested in the team. Fans are also excited to see what the OT and his teammates can accomplish to improve their play going forward. While there is a lot of speculation, their HC Jim Harbaugh is doing the actual work.

Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers can bring in game-changing receiver Tyreek Hill

From where the Chargers are standing, next season is completely unpredictable for them. To balance their roster, the team requires a talented WR. But, as the new league year began, the team unexpectedly did not go into free agency. This decision surprised fans as to what the team might be planning to do with their large-cap hit money. According to rumors, the team has one option: bring in a seasoned wide receiver. The speculation claims that this WR is none other than the Dolphins‘ star Tyreek Hill.

Shocked? Well, we were, too. The WR earlier announced that he plans to return to the Dolphins for another season. However, he team’s performance has not been satisfactory. Though interestingly, Hill has signed a three-year contract with the organization last year, which included one intriguing term. This term states that the WR will not receive a bonus until the 2025 season begins, which gives the team plenty of time to potentially trade him.

According to Over the Cap’s Jason Fitzgerald, “Despite signing a new three-year deal last August, Hill’s contract is structured in a way that his bonus doesn’t kick in until near the start of the 2025 season, giving the team ample time to facilitate a trade, should they decide to move on.”

If the $90 million wide receiver is up for it, Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers will surely seize the opportunity. Hill has the potential to significantly improve the team’s standing, and who knows, he could lead them to one of their best seasons ever. For the time being, there is no news that the teams are in any trade talks, but an update is expected soon.
