The Tennessee Titans made the hire of assistant general manager Chad Brinker official on Tuesday, and along with it released a statement from general manager Ran Carthon.
Brinker comes over from the Green Bay Packers, where he served as the team’s personnel/football administration executive for the past two seasons.
“Chad brings a unique skill set to our franchise,” Carthon said, per Jim Wyatt of Titans Online. “He has touched every facet of the personnel department – working in pro personnel, college scouting, cap management and analytics. We are excited to add his knowledge and experience to our evolving personnel group.”
Here’s more on Brinker, per the Packers’ official website:
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.
As both his bio and Carthon highlight, Brinker brings a wealth of different experiences to the position, but the one that jumps out at me the most is his past salary cap analyst role, which will be helpful for the cash-strapped Titans.
