The New York Jets’ lengthy searches are over, and they’re pairing a first-time general manager with a first-time head coach to try to turn things around.

Denver Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey agreed to terms Saturday with the Jets to become their GM.

The 39-year-old Mougey has worked as Broncos general manager George Paton’s top assistant for the past three seasons. Mougey replaces the fired Joe Douglas in New York and joins new Jets coach Aaron Glenn as the new leaders of the franchise.

“Darren is a trusted NFL executive who has experience working with an impressive collection of football leaders,” Jets owner and chairman Woody Johnson said in a statement issued by the team. “He is a proven talent evaluator who impressed us with his vision for this team. His partnership with Coach Glenn will revitalize this organization.”

The two will be formally introduced at a press conference Monday at the team’s facility in Florham Park, New Jersey.

Mougey, the NFL’s third-youngest GM behind Cleveland’s Andrew Berry and Chicago’s Ryan Poles, held several positions in Denver’s front office since joining the team as a scouting intern under John Elway in 2012.

“It is one of the great honors and privileges of my life to serve as the general manager of the New York Jets,” Mougey said in a statement. “I want to thank Mr. Johnson for this responsibility, one I do not take lightly. I could not be more excited to work alongside Coach Glenn to build a championship team that will make Jets fans proud.”

Mougey was Denver’s director of player personnel in 2021 before being promoted to assistant GM. The native of Scottsdale, Arizona, was once a backup quarterback behind current Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell at San Diego State and later a wide receiver.
