Denver Broncos Promote Reed Burckhardt Assistant GM, Restructure Front Office

The Denver Broncos have made significant front-office changes following several departures, most notably promoting Reed Burckhardt from director of player personnel to assistant general manager, replacing Darren Mougey who left for the New York Jets. Burckhardt, a longtime collaborator with GM George Paton from their time with the Minnesota Vikings, is now Paton's key deputy and brings extensive scouting and personnel experience. Alongside Burckhardt's promotion, the Broncos hired Cam Williams from the New England Patriots as co-director of player personnel and brought back Jordon Dizon as director of pro personnel after his stint with the Philadelphia Eagles. Additionally, A.J. Durso was promoted to co-director of player personnel, and Bryan Chesin advanced to director of college scouting, reflecting a strategy focused on internal promotions and key outside hires to rebuild the scouting department. These moves aim to strengthen the Broncos' personnel and scouting efforts as they build on their promising 2024 playoff season heading into 2025. The revamped front office now combines deep NFL experience and continuity, positioning the Broncos for sustained success.
