The Tennessee Titans have hired Mike Borgonzi as the franchise’s newest general manager, the team announced on Friday.
Borgonzi, who was one of six candidates the Titans met with twice, replaces Ran Carthon, who was fired last week after two seasons in charge.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it’s a five-year agreement for Borgonzi and the Titans.
“Mike’s experience speaks for itself: he has been part of the core team that delivered four AFC championships and three Super Bowls over the past five seasons,” said Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk in a statement. “It’s the type of standard I want to build here in Tennessee. I know we have a lot of work ahead of us, and I’m excited for Mike to get started.”
Borgonzi had been with the Kansas City Chiefs in various roles since 2009 and had served as the team’s assistant GM since 2021. He also worked in college and pro scouting, as well as player personnel and football operations roles within the organization.
After Carthon’s dismissal, Adams Strunk said that president of football operations Chad Brinker would lead the search for the next GM and that head coach Brian Callahan will remain with the team.
Brinker will also be the “final authority on all football matters,” though Borgonzi will be the lead when it comes to free agency and the draft.
Leading the franchise’s draft-day decision making will be important in 2025 with the Titans, who went 3-14 this past season, holding the No. 1 overall selection.
