The Tennessee Titans held an introductory press conference for new general manager Mike Borgonzi on Wednesday morning where the team unveiled their new organizational structure.
The distribution of responsibilities amongst the front office within the organization has become a hot topic with fans on social media since the team kicked-off their search after firing Ran Carthon. Today, some of those questions were finally answered and there is a distinct path in place to spearhead the rebuild.
The point of Chad Brinker having technical authority over the roster seems pretty clear to me now.
They want a linear chain of command.

President of football operations will have the final say on all organizational issues, although it seems like that will be more of a final sign-off capacity and not construction efforts. Borgonzi will be in-charge of drafting and developing a plan that will lead them to making productive decisions in free agency instead of flash.
The biggest take away from this is the hands-off approach owner Amy Adams Strunk is taking with the organization. Her absence from the introductory press conference and the linear chain-of-command formation being employed backs that up.
As that post from X outlined, there is a concrete structure in place and the front office can now begin attacking the offseason and filling some of the voids that plagued the Titans throughout 2024. Tennessee has roughly $55 million in salary cap space and will be looking for a generational talent at the top of the 2025 NFL draft, which is a good starting point.
Now, it’s time for the talk to end and the work to begin, the fans are watching.
