The Tennessee Titans are busy scouting at the East-West Shrine Bowl, but that didn’t stop them from making a move to bolster their front office.
Days after hiring Mike Borgonzi away from the Kansas City Chiefs to be their next general manager, the team moved to sign former Las Vegas Raiders general manager Dave Zeigler as an assistant.
The Titans are finalizing a deal to make ex-Raiders GM Dave Ziegler their assistant GM, per sources. Ziegler spent last year with the Saints.

Ziegler spent 2024 with the New Orleans Saints as a personnel advisor after being fired by the Raiders in 2023.
He started his NFL journey with the Denver Broncos as a player personnel assistant in 2010 before moving to the New England Patriots in 2013. In all, he spent 11 years with the Patriots, holding several roles including assistant director of pro scouting, director of pro personnel, assistant director of player personnel and director of player personnel during that stint. He was hired by the Raiders in 2022 as a first-time general manager.
Ziegler has a strong background in personnel and scouting and should be an asset inside the new Titans organizational structure.
