Broncos general manager George Paton is promoting from within to fill his top front office opening.
Paton is making Reed Burckhardt his assistant general manager, promoting the director of player personnel into the job previously held by Darren Mougey.
Mougey was named the New York Jets’ general manager in January.
Burckhardt has extensive history with Paton. The pair worked together for 12 years in Minnesota before Paton was hired as the Broncos general manager in 2021. Burckhardt stayed with the Vikings for that season before Paton hired him in Denver in 2022 as his director of player personnel.
