So it should come as no surprise that with the Broncos’ success, other teams have taken notice. Saturday afternoon, the New York Jets agreed in principle to make Darren Mougey their new general manager, a source confirmed to The Post.
The New York Jets and Denver Broncos have yet another link tying the two organizations together ahead of the 2025 offseason.
The hiring cycle has been a long process for the Jets after firing head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas during the season. New York interviewed over 30 candidates in total between their two big openings before finally settling on Mougey and Aaron Glenn.
Darren Mougey replaces Joe Douglas, who was fired as GM late in the 2024 season after failing to make the playoffs over a six-year tenure.
The New York Jets have a new general manager to go with their new head coach. The Jets are hiring Denver Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey as their new general manager, according to multiple reports. Mougey has scouted and worked on the front office for Denver since 2012.

The wait for the Jets general manager continued Friday. The team interviewed Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey and Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown on Thursday but they still had not hired anyone as of Friday evening.
Darren Mougey, a longtime Broncos scout and executive who became their assistant GM in 2022, is the new general manager of the Jets, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
For the next spin on the coaching carousel, we take a look at New Orleans Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi: Rizzi has never been a head coach in the NFL and his only experience as a head coach was one season with the University of Rhode Island in 2008. His team wasn’t very good as the Rams finished 3-9 and a 1-7 conference record.
Aaron Glenn is back with the Jets. From 1994 through 2001, he was a defensive back for the team, learning from some of the best coaches of all time.
