Report: Denver Broncos executive Darren Mougey interviews for the New York Jets GM position

Denver Broncos executive Darren Mougey interviewed for the New York Jets General Manager job.

According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, Denver Broncos assistant General Manager Darren Mougey has interviewed for the New York Jets General Manager job.

Mougey who is 39 years old has been with the Broncos organization for 13 years and has risen through the ranks during his time with the team and is currently their assistant General Manager.

He started with the team as a scouting intern in 2012, was a personnel and scouting assistant in 2013, a college and pro personnel scout in 2014, an area scout from 2014 through 2019, then became the team assistant director of college scouting in 2020, to becoming the director of player personnel in 2021, to finally becoming the Broncos assistant general manager, a position he has held since 2022.

Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph will interview for the Jets head coaching job sometime next week according to Klis so the Jets could be looking at a potential head coach/general manager pairing here.

The New York Jets are a team in disarray after yet another disappointing five-win season that was full of controversy. They fired both their head coach and GM during the season, the team was surrounded in drama and controversy all season, Aaron Rodgers played poorly, a trade for Davante Adams did not provide a spark, still employed Nathaniel Hackett, and finished with 5 wins on the year.

Now, the new GM and head coach will need to figure out what to do with Aaron Rodgers, try to find an answer at quarterback, and try to save a franchise that has been a bit of a dumpster fire in recent years.

Is Mougey the man for that job? Maybe, and if he does get the job, could Vance Joseph follow him to New York?

We’ll see
