Jets’ new GM Darren Mougey shakes up front office with two firings
NY Post
NEW ORLEANS — New Jets general manager Darren Mougey began making changes to the front office.
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 chief contract negotiator since 2018.
The Jets have also listed Phil Savage as a consultant on their website.
Savage had been one of former GM Joe Douglas’ top lieutenants and served as interim GM after Douglas was fired in November.
The Jets are hiring Rob Paton to replace Nejmeh, according to 9 News in Denver. Paton was a national scout for the Broncos, starting there in 2017. Mougey and Paton worked together in Denver.

Danny Wolf is as honored with his Jewish Joker nickname — a nod to Nikola Jokic — as he is amused by Draymond Green’s profane reaction to it.
The Jets are taking a chance on another quarterback, signing former college star Hendon Hooker to the practice squad Thursday.
Chris Harris is grateful for his promotion from defensive backs coach to interim defensive coordinator for the Jets for the final three games of the season, following the firing earlier this week of veteran coach Steve Wilks.
The Chiefs have an optimistic outlook on Patrick Mahomes’ 2026 prospects.
