I have thoroughly enjoyed my five-plus seasons with the Chargers and am very proud of the accomplishments of the organization during this time. I will always be appreciative of Dean and the Spanos family for the opportunity I was given in 2004 and will continue to be available to help in any way I can.” Steeg was in charge of special events for the NFL for 26 years prior to joining the Chargers. “I’m disappointed to see him go,” Chargers president Dean Spanos said. “Jim provided solid leadership and many bright, new ideas for our front office. I’m extremely grateful for his dedication and loyalty to the Chargers and our family.” No replacement was named, but Spanos said that Speeg's duties will be divided around the front office.
