What was once mere speculation has now been officially acknowledged by Tennessee Titans General Manager Mike Borgonzi, who addressed the growing rumors during a recent appearance on 104.5 The Zone Sports Radio in Nashville.
“The connection with the Sanders family isn’t just media talk — it’s real,” Borgonzi said. “We’ve built strong ties with that family, and we’ve been in regular communication with key figures in their camp. It’s no secret. We know what that name represents, both in football and in leadership.”
Borgonzi stopped short of confirming any formal offers or immediate plans but made it clear that the relationship between the Titans and the Sanders family is active, ongoing, and intentional.
His remarks sent a clear message to the NFL world: this is more than a casual interest. The Titans are positioning themselves for something bigger.
“These relationships don’t happen overnight,” Borgonzi added. “We know the kind of culture we want here, and those conversations are about more than X’s and O’s. They’re about people who elevate the standard.”
With Deion Sanders having already declared his desire to eventually coach in the NFL — and specifically calling out the Titans by name — Borgonzi’s statement is the strongest public confirmation yet that Tennessee is actively keeping the door open for a Sanders family future.
