The NFL combine is the first event of the offseason where the media gets a chance to interact with the league’s head coaches and general managers in one place.
However, that won’t happen this year because not all 32 head coaches or GMs plan on talking to the media.
Chargers HC Brandon Staley and GM Tom Telesco are not scheduled to speak to media members at Lucas Oil Stadium for their annual pre-combine press conference.
Typically, the media availabilities before the combine are a way to gauge what teams might be looking to do in free agency, the contract statuses of certain players, and the direction they may go in the draft.
The Saints, Patriots and Rams are the three other teams that will not have their head coach or general manager there available to the media.
The reasoning for Staley and Telesco not speaking at the combine is unknown.
Here’s the full press conference schedule for the coaches and general managers in attendance.
