The Denver Broncos are in the process of evaluating what potential structural changes could take place if they lose any coaches or front office executives to other jobs around the league. They could be on the verge of losing one of their best in-house executives.
Denver Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey has commanded interest in the offseason hiring cycle for a potential GM job. Initially, he interviewed with the New York Jets for the vacant position, and now he’s set to get a second interview.
The Jets hired former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their next head coach and there’s a chance Mougey lands there. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Jets already interviewed Lance Newmark a second time, and he remains a candidate, but it appears the decision could come down to Newmark or Mougey. They’ll also be interviewing Cincinnati Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown for a second interview.
Mougey has been with the Broncos since 2012 when he first came on as a Scouting intern when Peyton Manning became the team’s quarterback. In 2013, Mougey became a personnel and scouting assistant with the team and was promoted in 2014 to a college and pro personnel scout before moving into the role of an area scout for the team from 2015 to 2019. Mougey became the team’s Assistant Director of College Scouting before being promoted to Director of Player Personnel in 2021. His next promotion came in 2022, when he was named the Assistant General Manager, serving as one of the top hands for general manager George Paton.
Mougey is considered one of the league’s brightest up-and-coming potential general managers in league circles, and his opportunity to land his first GM gig could be on the horizon.
