The Tennessee Titans have a new general manager in Mike Borgonzi and it is very likely many things will be changing in Nashville in the coming months.
Borgonzi is coming from Kansas City and wants to implement a lot of the philosophies that have made them Super Bowl champs. That includes building a roster from the ground up and turning the Titans into a physical football team.
Tennessee does have some players in place, but there are upgrades needed across the board. This is something Borgonzi outlined with Jim Wyatt.
“There is some talent on this roster, but we’re a three-win football team right now, so that’s not good enough,” Borgonzi said. “So, we’re going to have to look everywhere to improve it, whether that’s upgrading starters, upgrading depth. I’ll get to sit down more here with the coaches and get a better understanding of all the players.”
Those comments should resonate throughout the locker room and the fanbase. No player should feel safe. Upgrades could come from anywhere, and Borgonzi has the power to implement his plan.
New @Titans GM Mike Borgonzi: I’ll have full authority over the free agency process, and the draft. Said he’ll pick the players … It will be a partnership with Chad Brinker, he said

While he said there will be a partnership with president of football operations Chad Brinker and head coach Brian Callahan to build the team, at the end of the day it will be Borgonzi who will be picking the players in both free agency and the draft to rebuild the culture in Nashville.
It’s a long time before Borgonzi and the Titans are on the clock in the 2025 NFL draft, and in the time leading into it, there should be no doubt that roster changes will occur. Fans should stay tuned for what he has in store.
