Fresh off an exciting eighth season, the 3GML opened its membership to three new teams. The expansion was done to add both a level of competition to the league and a larger sense of community among the general managers.
Fresh off his leave of absence, GM EP returns with a new team. After years of leading the Miami Dolphins in the 3GML, EP was hired to build a winner in the Los Angeles Chargers. EP will look to bring his brand of hard-hitting defense and strong character players to the Chargers as they look to win their first ever Super Bowl in franchise history. Adding intrigue to interest, the Chargers have been rumored to be exploring a potential to return to San Diego.
The league also approved the addition of General Manager BD, who will lead the Philadelphia Eagles. BD is fresh to the role but already looking to build a team that can run with anyone. The Eagles want to compete now with players like Patrick Surtain II and Haason Reddick, shipped over from the Packers, as well as a dynamic receiving duo of AJ Brown and Devonta Smith on the roster.
Like BD, General Manager TP is new to the league and will be taking the reins of the Baltimore Ravens. TP comes from the EP front office tree, so we'll see if he takes the same team building approach or goes a different route. The biggest move out of the gate was the acquisition of quarterback Jalen Hurts who will keep the Ravens in every game they play. Baltimore has always been known for their defense and TP will try to keep that reputation going with linebacker Roquan Smith captaining the squad.
With the addition of these teams, the 3GML now has three teams in each conference, making the path to the Super Bowl that much harder. GMs CD, SD, and TH will have their hands full battling it out with the new squads when the ninth 3GML season kicks off in the fall.
