The Chargers' decision to bring former NFL general manager Randy Muller on board is a brilliant move.
The rich have just gotten richer. The Chargers are known to have one of the better front offices in the NFL. Under general manager A.J. Smith, the Chargers have become an elite team and much of it can be directed toward the drafting and free agent moves made by Smith.
The addition of Mueller to the front office as a senior executive makes this a stronger staff. Mueller, the former head man in Seattle, New Orleans and Miami, has a great grasp of how a front office is run and will be a terrific addition to Smith's staff. Mueller has a solid scouting eye.
Smith deserves a lot of credit to bring in a talent like Mueller, who was let go in Miami after Bill Parcells took over. This is yet another example of how good of a grasp on this league Smith has. Others around the league may have been threatened by the idea of bringing in a seasoned veteran like Mueller, but Smith sees this as a chance to make his organization better.
There's no wonder why this is a premier franchise in the NFL. And it just got better.
