Jets Hire New General Manager

The New York Jets fired general manager Joe Douglas in November and, in the meantime, appointed Phil Savage as interim general manager.

However, the Jets will be under new leadership after NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported that New York is hiring Darren Mougey as its new general manager.

The 39-year-old had been the assistant general manager of the Denver Broncos for the past three years. He began working with Denver in 2012 as a scouting intern and has worked through the scouting department since then. He was promoted to assistant director of college scouting in 2020 and moved to director of player personnel in 2021.

Mougey played college football at San Diego State from 2005 to 2008 before briefly playing in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals in 2009 and 2010, although he never made it to either team's active roster.
