The Denver Broncos have several coaches who are candidates to leave the team for promotions this offseason, and now an executive has been added to the list.
Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougeyinterviewed for the New York Jets ' general manager position on Saturday, the Jets announced.
Mougey, 39, played quarterback at San Diego State before switching to wide receiver. He spent time with the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals from 2009-2010 before hanging up his cleats to transition to scouting.
Mougey joined the Broncos in 2012 as a scouting intern and he's had an impressive rise since then. Mougey went from an intern to a personnel and scouting assistant (2013) to a college and pro personnel scout (2014) to an area scout (2015-2019) to assistant director of college scouting (2020) to director of player personnel (2021) to assistant GM (2022-present).
Mougey is currently just below Denver GM George Paton. It would be a notable loss for the Broncos if Mougey becomes New York's GM in 2025.
