Jets’ new GM Darren Mougey shakes up front office with two firings

NEW ORLEANS — New Jets general manager Darren Mougey began making changes to the front office on Wednesday.

Mougey fired co-director of player personnel Greg Nejmeh and senior director of football administration David Socie.

Nejmeh was with the Jets for 16 years, rising through the organization from scouting intern to one of the top members of the personnel department. Socie has been the Jets’ chief contract negotiator since 2018.

The Jets have also now listed Phil Savage as a consultant on their team website. Savage had been one of former GM Joe Douglas’ top lieutenants and served as interim GM after Douglas was fired in November.

This is the first sign of a shakeup by Mougey of the Jets personnel department and front office. The Jets have not had much change in those areas through the years despite their 14-year playoff drought and four different GMs in that time.

There may be more changes coming after the 2025 NFL Draft in April. Teams typically wait until the draft is over to make changes in the scouting department.

New coach Aaron Glenn is still building his staff and he will be making a change with his strength and conditioning coach.

Mike Nicolini, who came with Robert Saleh in 2021, is no longer with the team.
