Chiefs dealt major blow on eve of NFL playoffs with ᴀssistant GM Mike Borgonzi leaving for conference rival

The Kansas City Chiefs are bracing themselves for a major loss with ᴀssistant general manager Mike Borgonzi set to leave and join the Tennessee тιтans.

Borgonzi, who has spent 16 seasons with the Chiefs, is heading to Tennessee less than four years since being named ᴀssistant GM at Arrowhead, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

He is now poised to make the step up and become general manager in Tennessee, where he will replace the recently-fired Ran Carthon.

Carthon was fired as тιтans GM on January 7 after the team went 9-25 in his two seasons at the helm, failing to make the playoffs on both occasions.

After dropping the axe on the former running back, Tennessee officials also conducted an interview with Chicago Bears ᴀssistant GM Ian Cunningham.

In Borgonzi they will be adding an executive with vast experience at one of the most successful NFL franchises of the 21st century.

Since he became ᴀssistant GM in Kansas City, the team has reached the AFC Championship game and then won two straight Super Bowls, while a historic three-peat is in their sights this year.

Borgonzi previously served three seasons as the Chiefs’ director of football operations (2018-20) and one as the director of player personnel in 2017. 

After joining as the team’s college scouting administrator in 2009, he held a number of different roles at Arrowhead; including manager of football operations, pro personnel scout, ᴀssistant director of pro scouting and co-director of player personnel.

The Chiefs ᴀssistant GM was also an ᴀssistant recruiting coordinator at Boston College from 2007-08 before making the step up to the NFL.   

During his time in Boston, the school played in the ACC Championship game twice and won the 2007 Champs Sports Bowl.

Borgonzi also interviewed with the New York Jets for their GM opening. He has served under Brett Veach since 2021, supervising and directing the team’s college and professional scouting operations while also helping build the roster.
