With the New York Jets 2024 season all but over, speculation surrounding the team’s pivotal offseason decisions is in full swing.
On Monday, FOX Sports NFL Insider Peter Schrager released his weekly “Schrager’s cheat sheet,” which contained interesting Jets tidbits. More specifically, he reported that three top candidates—Mike Borgonzi, Mike Greenberg, and Ray Agnew—are expected to interview for the Jets general manager job once the season concludes.
In his fourth season serving as the Kansas City Chiefs assistant general manager, Mike Borgonzi has climbed the organization’s front office ranks since 2009. Throughout his tenure in Kansas City, Borgonzi has served in various roles, including:
- Administrator of College Scouting (2009)
- Manager of Football Operations (2010)
- Pro scout (2011-12)
- Assistant Director of Pro Scouting (2013-14)
- Director of Player Personnel (2015-17)
- Director of Football Operations (2018-20)
Borgonzi has played a crucial role in building three Super Bowl-winning teams throughout his tenure with the Chiefs.
Currently, in his second season serving as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager, Mike Greenberg is viewed as an up-and-coming GM candidate. (And no, it’s not ESPN’s Mike Greenberg.)
Greenberg is known for his expertise with the salary cap. He served as the organization’s cap expert under general manager Jason Licht. The Long Island Native had a remarkable offseason this year, helping re-sign several premier players, including wide receiver Mike Evans, linebacker Lavonte David, quarterback Baker Mayfield, and safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
In his 15th season with the Bucs, Greenberg has held several roles with the organization, including vice president of football administration, director of football administration, and coordinator of football administration.
It is also worth noting that Greenberg is no stranger to the Jets organization, having served as a football administration intern with the team in 2008 and 2009.
In his fourth season as the Detroit Lions assistant general manager, Ray Agnew has played a significant role in the team’s rapid turnaround to success.
Before joining Detroit’s front office, Agnew served as the Los Angeles Rams director of player personnel from 2017-2020. During his tenure, the Rams enjoyed three playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl berth in 2018.
Agnew also helped acquire several key contributors to the team’s 2022 Super Bowl victory, including Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Floyd, A’Shawn Robinson, and Andrew Whitworth.
He is interestingly connected to the Jets organization, as his son Ray Agnew III is in his eighth season with the Jets front office, where he currently serves as a pro scout.
As the Jets prepare for a crucial offseason, hiring the right general manager will play a pivotal role in the team’s future. In 2025, the New York Jets aim to return to the playoffs for the first time in well over a decade.
