Mike Borgonzi

General Manager

Biography

Mike Borgonzi was named the 15th General Manager in franchise history on Jan. 17, 2025.

Borgonzi arrived in Tennessee with 16 years of experience with the Kansas City Chiefs. During his final four seasons in Kansas City, he served as Assistant General Manager.

"Mike's experience speaks for itself: he has been part of the core team that delivered five AFC championships and three Super Bowls over the past six seasons," said Titans Controlling Owner Amy Adams Strunk. "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."

"During Mike's 16 years in the league, he has been a key part of transforming the Chiefs from a two-win team to a three-time Super Bowl champion," said Titans President of Football Operations Chad Brinker. "During our meetings, he articulated a clear plan to build a championship standard in Nashville through consistency, discipline and hard work. I've admired him for many years and I'm thrilled to add him to the team as our general manager."

During Borgonzi's time in Kansas City, he contributed to 12 playoff seasons (2010, 2013, 2015-24) and 10 AFC West titles (2010, 2016-24). Borgonzi helped construct a roster over a five-season span that won the AFC five times (2019-20, 2022-24) and captured three Super Bowl championships (2019, 2022-23).

For the last eight seasons (2017-24), Borgonzi worked under Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach. As the Assistant General Manager from 2021 through 2024, he supervised and directed the college and professional scouting operations while closely supporting and advising Veach with the club's roster management and player acquisition via the NFL Draft, free agency, waiver claims and trades. During his four seasons as Assistant General Manager, the Chiefs built a league-best 52-16 regular-season record (.765). In the same four-year span, 10 different Kansas City players earned a combined 23 Pro Bowl selections: tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (2021-22), wide receiver Tyreek Hill (2021), center Creed Humphrey (2022-24), defensive tackle Chris Jones (2021-24), tight end Travis Kelce (2021-24), quarterback Patrick Mahomes (2021-23), safety Tyrann Mathieu (2021), guard Trey Smith (2024), guard Joe Thuney (2022-24) and punter Tommy Townsend (2022).

The Chiefs entered the 2024 postseason after capturing their ninth consecutive AFC West crown. They tied the Detroit Lions for the NFL's best record at 15-2, setting a franchise record for wins in a regular season and securing the AFC's top seed. Twenty original Chiefs draft picks started at least six games for the team during the 2024 regular season. Kansas City had five players voted to the Pro Bowl, marking the seventh consecutive year in which it had at least five players earn the honor.

Prior to his promotion to Assistant General Manager, Borgonzi served as Director of Football Operations (2018-20), Director of Player Personnel (2017), Co-Director of Player Personnel (2015-16), Assistant Director of Pro Scouting (2013-14), Pro Personnel Scout (2011-12) and Manager of Football Operations (2010). He joined the Chiefs in 2009 as the club's College Scouting Administrator.

Before landing in the NFL with the Chiefs, Borgonzi spent the 2007 and 2008 seasons at Boston College, where he was the Assistant Recruiting Coordinator. He also coached tight ends at Amherst College in 2002 before working in the financial sector in Boston for several years.

A native of Everett, Mass., Borgonzi graduated from Brown University, where he was a four-year starter at fullback and was a three-time All-Ivy League selection.

He and his wife, Jill, have a son, Joseph, and a daughter, Nina. His brother, Dave, has served as the Linebackers Coach for the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears and currently serves as the Linebackers Coach for the Dallas Cowboys.
