The Kansas City Chiefs are in the midst of building a dynasty under Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Typically, when teams build dynasties, they see major turnover in their coaching staffs and front offices. However, Kansas City hasn't had to deal with too much of that.
The Chiefs have only seen a combined four members of their coaching staff and front office leave. Matt Nagy, who became the Chicago Bears' head coach(2018-2021). Executive director of player personnel Ryan Poles, who is the current GM of the Bears. And former offensive coordinator Eric Bienimey is also currently employed by the Bears.
Then, their assistant general manager of the past four seasons, Mike Borgonzi, was hired to be the general manager of the Tennessee Titans this offseason. Since becoming GM of the Titans, Borgonzi has begun to bring in former Chiefs. He started by signing linebacker Curtis Jacobs, who Kansas City signed as an undrafted free agent last season.
On Tuesday, he added to the roster by signing linebacker Blake Lynch, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com.

Former Chiefs Linebacker Blake Lynch Joins the Titans
For those in Chiefs Kingdom who were unaware that Blake Lynch was on the team, it's understandable, as he never played a game for Kansas City. The 28-year-old joined the Chiefs' practice squad for about a week last season and then was cut.
Although he was brought back in March, he only lasted on the roster until May. This means he never even saw the field for OTAs. That said, he does have some NFL experience.
Prior to joining the Chiefs, Lynch was an undrafted free agent signed by the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. In two seasons with the Vikings, he recorded 47 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one interception in 20 games.
Following that, Lynch saw action in just eight more games with the Los Angeles Chargers from 2023-2024. Despite limited experience, Borgonzi must like what he sees on tape from Lych, or he wouldn't have brought him to Tennessee.
Though Chiefs fans aren't rooting for the Titans to succeed, they also don't want Borgonzi to be an utter failure as a GM. Be that as it may, if things end up not working out in Tennessee, Kansas City would welcome Borgonzi back with open arms.
