Sources -- Darren Mougey leaving Broncos to be GM of Jets - ESPN

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Completing their leadership overhaul in less than a week, the New York Jets agreed to terms Saturday with Darren Mougey to be their general manager, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Mougey, a longtime Denver Broncos scout and executive who became their assistant GM in 2022, will team with newly hired coach Aaron Glenn — a brain trust that has no previous experience in their new positions. It's a bold pairing by the Jets, who are trying to reboot after a turmoil-filled season and a 14-year playoff drought.

At 39, Mougey is the third-youngest GM in the NFL and 2 years younger than quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose future with the Jets will be determined in the coming weeks. Mougey is expected to have a traditional GM role, meaning he has final say on personnel decisions and control of the 53-man roster. Glenn, who was involved in the hiring, will have significant input.

Mougey replaces Joe Douglas, who was fired Nov. 19 after five-plus seasons on the job. Under Douglas' stewardship, the Jets were 30-64. Phil Savage served as the interim GM.

The Jets took an unconventional route by hiring their coach before the GM. A dual announcement was expected Wednesday, when Glenn's deal was finalized, but things changed.

Washington Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark appeared to be the frontrunner, as he was the first candidate to receive a second interview. He and Glenn seemed to be a natural fit, considering they worked with the Detroit Lions from 2021 to 2023. Both interviewed Tuesday at the team facility, but the Jets decided to meet again with Mougey and Cincinnati Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown.

Mougey and Glenn, 52, have no previous working relationship, only an indirect connection —
