Jets Hire Darren Mougey as General Manager
The Broncos assistant GM will take on his first general manager role after a wide-ranging search by New York.
- The New York Jets have selected Darren Mougey, the Denver Broncos' assistant GM, as their new general manager following an extensive search process.
- Mougey, 39, has spent his entire executive career with the Broncos, rising through the ranks since joining as a scouting intern in 2012.
- The Jets initially appeared poised to hire Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark, but ultimately pivoted after conducting second interviews with Mougey and Bengals executive Trey Brown.
- This marks the Jets' second major hire of the week, following the appointment of Aaron Glenn, a former Lions defensive coordinator, as their head coach.
- Mougey will face significant challenges, including addressing the quarterback situation, potential contract extensions for key players, and shaping the team's long-term direction.
