Darren Mougey's football journey is quite a story. He played quarterback in high school and then attended San Diego State. After two years at the college level as a QB, Mougey converted to wide receiver.

Mougey will replace Joe Douglas, who was fired on Nov. 19 after five-plus seasons as general manager. During his time with the Jets, Douglas registered a 32-62 record. Phil Savage was the Jets’ interim general manager for the final six games of the 2024 season.

A new GM in New York: Jets are hiring Broncos assistant G.M. Darren Mougey as their new general manager, per sources. Mougey has worked with three head coaches who reached the Super Bowl: Sean Payton, Gary Kubiak and John Fox. Mougey was a part of two Super Bowl teams, and the Broncos believe he played a key role in Denver’s resurgence this year.
