One of the Seattle Seahawks’ front-office executives is receiving outside interest. Senior director of player personnel Matt Berry had a virtual interview for the Tennessee Titans’ vacant general manager job. Berry appears to be a legitimate candidate for Tennessee’s opening.
Berry has been a long-time John Schneider disciple. He just completed his 17th season with the Seahawks, his second in his current role. Prior to being named senior director of player personnel, he served eight seasons as director of college scouting (2015-22).

Prior to joining the Seahawks, Berry spent five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, spending his final three campaigns in Atlanta as the Falcons’ south-central scout. The Titans have mentioned that they want a true football scout in the GM role. Berry’s background as a grinder fits their criteria.
It’s also worth noting that Berry is a local native of Nashville, Tennessee. That could increase their interest in his availability. Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker is overseeing the process to appoint the next general manager.
It’s also worth noting that Berry and Brinker have a loose connection through Schneider. Brinker and Schneider previously crossed paths with the Green Bay Packers. That will give Tennessee a lot of insight into Berry as a candidate.
