According to various reports, Mougey has been among three finalists for the job along with Cincinnati Bengals senior personnel exec Trey Brown and Washington Commanders assistant

While Mougey is still young and has never been a GM before - a point of controversy to some - he does have some warts throughout his career. He championed the team to hire Nathaniel Hackett as the team's head coach. Hackett didn't even get through his entire first year with the team.

So it should come as no surprise that with the Broncos’ success, other teams have taken notice. Saturday afternoon, the New York Jets agreed in principle to make Darren Mougey their new general manager, a source confirmed to The Post.
