tgo Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 (edited) It's pretty clear that this GM will essentially be Brinker's EVP of Player Personnel. This is going to be a draft/scouting process focused GM who has a background in college scouting and who is subservient to Brinker. The nature of the position is going to exclude certain guys who want more organizational control or who have a cap management/pro scouting background. I would think guys like Mike Borgonzi or Ray Agnew wouldn't be considered for this role. Funny enough, someone like Ryan Cowden would be a perfect fit. Guys like Jon-Eric Sullivan, Trey Brown, and internally Anthony Robinson or Jon Salge will be considered. Feel free to use this thread to list your favorite candidates for the role and to keep the actual candidates up to date. Official Reported GM Candidates: 1. Mike Borgonzi, Chiefs Asst GM 2. Catherine Hickman, Browns Asst GM/VP of Football Operations 3. Terrance Gray, Bills Director of Player Personnel 4. Reggie McKenzie, Dolphins Senior Personnel Executive 5. Ed Dodds, Colts Asst GM 6. John Spytek, Bucs Asst GM 7. Thomas Dimitroff, Former Falcons GM 8. Matt Berry, Seahawks Sr Director of Player Personnel 9. Ian Cunningham, Bears Asst GM 10. Jon-Eric Sullivan, Packers VP of Player Personnel Edited January 10, 2025 by tgo freakingeek 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvgJoe Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 I actually think Agnew could be in play. His son is here and he is up there in age, he’s 57. This might be his best chance to be a larger piece of a puzzle Omar, and titanskick8851 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgJoe Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 (edited) Just sharing.

Brinker mentioned college scouting multiple times, and Brinker's background is in pro personnel so it just seems like he'd want someone to specifically complement his skill set.

Already has a relationship with Callahan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudsOilers Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 People with GB ties or with those from GB (think Schneider's SEA people) probably should be on the list first and foremost. titanskick8851, Nash, and oldschool 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTiger3733 Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 (edited) Real question, wouldn't Jim Nagy be a great fit for what Brinker is looking for? Edited January 7, 2025 by BTiger3733 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted January 7, 2025 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 Trey Brown seems like a really good fit for this role. He'd be at or near the top of my list. Jon-Eric Sullivan of course makes a ton of sense but would he take this role or would he rather wait it out for a different job? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
