The New York Jets are making sweeping changes to their front office and scouting departments.
CBS NFL Insider Jonathan Jones revealed that the Jets cut ties with co-Director of Player Personnel Greg Nejmeh on Tuesday, February 4. He had spent the last 16 years with the organization.
NFL analyst Will Parkinson shared on social media that the Jets dumped David Socie who most recently served as the Senior Director of Football strategy. He had been with the organization since 2018, Parkinson said.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini confirmed all of those transactions and added that “Head strength & conditioning coach Mike Nicolini is no longer with the team. He was hired in 2021 with Robert Saleh.”
More Changes Are Coming for the Jets, Says Insider
Brian Costello of the New York Post said more changes are coming to the Gang Green front office and scouting department.
“One of the odd things about the Jets has been a lack of change in the personnel and scouting department despite different GMs and all the losing in the last 14 years. Looks like Mougey and Glenn will be making changes. I would expect more moves after the Draft,” Costello predicted.
On “Boy Green Daily” Jets reporter Nick Faria told me that all of these firings show that general manager Darren Mougey has full autonomy to make the moves that he wants.
The ability to bring his own guys in and to get rid of guys that have been hanging around. Some of these guys who are getting fired by Mougey are from several regimes previous.
This flexibility with getting rid of longstanding members of the front office and scouting staff is power we haven’t seen a Jets general manager wield in some time.
This is a developing story and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
