Jets find GM to pair with Aaron Glenn by landing Broncos exec Darren Mougey

The Jets completed their long search for a new general manager Friday, hiring Darren Mougey to pair with new head coach Aaron Glenn, The Post has confirmed.

Mougey has been the Broncos’ ᴀssistant GM since 2022.

The 39-year-old has been with the Broncos since 2012, rising from scouting intern to ᴀssistant GM.

Mougey has worked under two different GMs — John Elway and current boss George Paton.

He was part of a Super Bowl-winning team in 2015 and helped the Broncos get back to the playoffs this season despite having a league-high $89 million in ᴅᴇᴀᴅ money on the salary cap.

That number cut the margin of error down for the team in its offseason moves and the front office could not afford many misses.

The Arizona native went to San Diego State, where he was teammates with Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell.

Mougey is 6 foot 6 and is said to have a presence about him when he walks into a room.

He is known as a good communicator and has survived six different head coaches in Denver.

The Jets hired Glenn on Wednesday as their new head coach.

It is not known if Glenn and Mougey have any connections outside of both working with Broncos coach Sean Payton, whom Glenn worked with in New Orleans.

The Jets interviewed 15 candidates for their GM opening.

Mougey first interviewed on Jan. 11.

He had a second interview Thursday.

The franchise also interviewed Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown and Commanders ᴀssistant GM Lance Newmark a second time.
