“This feels like we are in the zone where something could happen between Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers in the near future,” Garafolo said Tuesday, via NFL Network. “My understanding is that they have made him an extremely strong offer to him financially. They are now at the point where they are going to discuss staffing when it comes to the general manager and his coaching staff. This feels like it’s advanced to where, if everyone is comfortable with the principle factors at play, this team could move on Harbaugh and try to get him under contract in the near future.”
