The New York Jets reached an agreement with the deputy director of the Denver Broncos, Darren Mougeyto become its general manager.
Mougey, a veteran Cazatalantos and Executive of the Denver Broncos who became his general manager assistant in 2022, will team with the newly hired coach Aaron Glenn, a group of experts who has no previous experience in his new positions.
It is a bold couple by the Jets, who are trying to restart after a season full of turbulence and a 14 -year -old playoff drought.
At 39, Mougey is the third youngest general manager in the NFL and 2 years younger than field marshal Aaron Rodgers, whose future with the jets will be determined in the coming weeks.
Mougey is expected to have a traditional role of general manager, which means that he has the last word in personnel decisions and the control of the staff of 53 men.
Joe Douglas replacement in the jets
Mougey replaces Joe Douglaswho was fired on November 19 after more than five seasons in the post. Under the direction of Douglas, the Jets had a 30-64 record. Phil Savage served as an interim general manager.
The Jets took an unconventional route to hire their coach before the general manager. A double announcement was expected on Wednesday, when Glenn’s treatment was over, but things changed.
The general manager of the Washington Commanders, Lance Newmark, seemed to be the favorite, since he was the first candidate to receive a second interview. He and Glenn seemed to fit naturally, considering that they worked with the Detroit Lions from 2021 to 2023.
Both interviewed Tuesday at the team’s facilities, but the Jets decided to meet Mougey again and the senior staff executive of the Cincinnati Bengals, Trey Brown.
