ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Chargers have requested an interview with Ravens DC Zach Orr for the same position.

23 January 2026

With former Chargers DC Jesse Minter now heading to Baltimore to serve as their next head coach, the Chargers have a new vacancy to fill. The obvious connection here is the Harbaughs. After spending the last two seasons coaching with John Harbaugh in Baltimore, Orr could become the latest coach and/or player to make the leap to Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers. Orr’s time in Baltimore was marked by challenges. Despite his defense ranking ninth in points allowed in 2024, the Ravens often felt like they underperformed on that side of the ball in big moments, and they fell to 18th in points allowed and 24th in yards allowed in 2025. Wherever he lands next, Orr will have a lot to prove after underperforming expectations this season.
