New Tennessee Titans general manager wasted no time putting his stamp on the franchise this offseason. In his first major act, Borgonzi used the team’s top draft pick to select quarterback Cam Ward, signaling a new era under center. But his influence extended well beyond the quarterback position, as the GM undertook a sweeping overhaul of the roster from top to bottom.
Several familiar faces departed the team, including wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and linebacker Kenneth Murray. In their place, Borgonzi brought in a mix of proven veterans and emerging talent. Notably, wide receivers Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson were added to inject experience and versatility into the receiving corps, while linebacker Cody Barton was signed to help solidify the defense.
On the defensive line, Dre’Mont Jones was added as a key reinforcement, offering both run-stopping ability and interior pass rush. Conversely, the team opted not to bring back veteran safety Quandre Diggs, highlighting a focus on both youth and financial flexibility. While big investments were made in Barton and former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr., Borgonzi also prioritized getting younger across several key positions—something that bodes well for the franchise’s long-term outlook.
The retooled roster generated a wave of optimism during the team’s offseason program, and now the focus shifts to training camp, which is set to begin on July 22. As anticipation builds, the Titans delivered exciting news to their fan base: supporters will be allowed to attend seven of the team’s training camp practices, offering a firsthand look at the new faces and revamped systems. One of these open practices will take place at Nissan Stadium on July 26.
This event will mark the first opportunity for fans to see Cam Ward and fellow rookies in action. The Titans’ 2025 draft class also includes pass rusher Olawufemi Oladejo, wideouts Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, tight end Gunnar Helm, and running back Kalel Mullings—each of whom brings promise to the roster. Tickets for the training camp sessions will be limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Looking ahead, Tennessee’s first true test comes in Week 1 when they travel to face the Denver Broncos—a team that finished 10-7 last year and earned a playoff berth. That season opener will offer an early glimpse at how Borgonzi’s bold offseason moves have positioned the Titans for success in 2025 and beyond.
