What we’re scoring
Verified quoted context proposes drafting Mendoza and trading Ward. Preserve the explicit GM-retention condition and that draft window; this is not a perpetual promise that Ward will never leave.
The ruling
Borgonzi remained Tennessee's GM for the April 2026 draft. The team took Carnell Tate fourth, with Borgonzi discussing Tate as help for Cam Ward, rather than replacing Ward with Mendoza. Mendoza was selected by Las Vegas first overall.

Verified quoted context proposes drafting Mendoza and trading Ward. Preserve the explicit GM-retention condition and that draft window; this is not a perpetual promise that Ward will never leave. Jev advisory reviewed: Keep the explicit GM-retention condition and 2026 draft context from the original quote. Borgonzi retained, Tate selected for Ward, Mendoza drafted by Raiders: correct for that draft window, not a perpetual no-trade promise.
