Darren Mougey confirmed as New York Jets GM

The New York Jets have officially hired Darren Mougey as their new general manager, filling the position previously held by Joe Douglas. Mougey, who spent 13 years with the Denver Broncos, including three as assistant GM, is expected to work closely with newly appointed head coach Aaron Glenn to revitalize a franchise that has not made the playoffs since 2010. Known for his strong scouting abilities and contributions to the Broncos' recent success, Mougey will face the immediate challenge of determining the future of the quarterback position, particularly regarding the aging Aaron Rodgers. The Jets currently hold the seventh pick in the upcoming draft, which poses a critical decision point for the team's future. Mougey is part of a broader effort to end the Jets' 14-year playoff drought, the longest in the NFL, while also addressing numerous roster adjustments ahead of the new season. His hiring follows a thorough search process where he was selected from 15 candidates who interviewed for the role.
