Ossenfort bounced around as an NFL scout until 2020, he then became the director of player personnel for the Tennessee Titans.
But while being a scout for the Patriots, Ossenfort helped bring home four Super Bowl championships.
This is the first time the Cardinals have gone outside their organization for a general manager since 1993. He will be filling the role of Steve Keim, who was Arizona’s general manager from 2013 up until about a month ago.
Now, the Cardinals can further shift their attention to finding a new head coach as there remains a vacancy.
Per owner Michael Bidwill, the plan has always been to find a new general manager first, then a head coach who matches the GM’s expectations and goals.
