Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon has reportedly found his right-hand man, with the team set to hire Green Bay Packers executive Chad Brinker as the assistant general manager.
The news comes from MMQB’s Albert Breer. Brinker previously held the title of personnel/football administration executive with the Packers for the last two seasons, spending 13 with the franchise in total.
Here’s more on him from his bio on the Packers’ official site:
Chad Brinker enters his 13th season with the Packers and second as personnel/football administration executive. He was promoted to his current position on Jan. 22, 2021, after spending three seasons as assistant director of pro scouting/salary cap analyst. Brinker originally came to Green Bay as a scouting assistant in January 2010 before spending six seasons (2012-17) as a pro scout.
It appears Brinker has a diverse background, but his ability to figure out the salary cap in particular will come in handy with Tennessee needing to free up money this offseason.
What I meant on Cleveland-like model (which is based on Philly's model)—having a football ops/strategy exec and a scouting exec leading departments and reporting directly to the GM. Brinker would be the former.

Brinker played college ball at Ohio before entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2003 with the New York Jets. He never played in a regular season contest, though.
