It will not take lengthy for just lately employed Jets normal supervisor Darren Mougey to show his value.
With uncertainty surrounding quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Mougey has an enormous resolution to make on the sport’s most necessary place.
On Saturday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported the Jets employed Mougey, who served as Broncos assistant normal supervisor from 2022-24.
ESPN NFL writer Rich Cimini famous that Mougey, 39, is the league’s third-youngest normal supervisor, which Cimini added makes him two years youthful than Rodgers.
Mougey could have an enormous say in whether or not Rodgers returns in 2025. As The Athletic NFL author Zack Rosenblatt wrote on Thursday, “This resolution will not be made … till a normal supervisor is employed.”
Mougey has labored within the Broncos entrance workplace in some capability since 2012, beginning as a scouting intern, per Cimini.
In Denver, he acquired a crash course on the significance of quarterbacks. After profitable Tremendous Bowl 50 with (a severely restricted) Peyton Manning at quarterback, the Broncos have been caught within the wilderness, rotating by Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch, Brock Osweiler, Case Keenum, Joe Flacco, Drew Lock, Teddy Bridgewater and Russell Wilson earlier than discovering a possible franchise quarterback within the 2024 NFL Draft, Bo Nix.

Whereas hardly the identical participant he was at his MVP peak, an underwhelming free-agent quarterback class might go away the Jets with no higher choice.
No matter whether or not Rodgers returns, Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn will doubtless nonetheless be below contract when he retires, making discovering an inheritor obvious paramount.
However they need to fear about 2025 first. Mougey and the Jets’ resolution on Rodgers will chart their course for subsequent season. No stress.
