Titans Hire Former Raiders GM Ziegler as Assistant GM

The Tennessee Titans have hired former Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler as their new assistant general manager under Mike Borgonzi, who was recently appointed as the team’s general manager. Ziegler, who spent the 2024 season as a personnel advisor for the New Orleans Saints, previously held the GM position with the Raiders from 2022 to 2023 before being fired alongside head coach Josh McDaniels. His tenure with the Raiders was marked by controversial decisions, including significant trades and draft picks, but he is recognized for his experience gained during his time with the New England Patriots. The circumstances of his dismissal from the Raiders were complex, with suggestions that disagreements with McDaniels about staff and roster decisions contributed to their mutual firings. Ziegler's hiring comes as the Titans look to revamp their front office after a disappointing 2023 season, finishing with a league-worst record. His prior roles with the Broncos and Patriots further solidify his profile as a seasoned executive in the NFL.
