He\u2019ll work for a familiar Denver face in Raiders general manager John Spytek, who cut his teeth alongside Stark as a Broncos scout from 2013-15.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a big leap up the ladder for Stark, who\u2019s served in the Broncos\u2019 scouting department since 2012 and was promoted in 2017. The Broncos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverbroncos.com\/news\/broncos-interview-brian-stark-for-gm-opening\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed him for their general manager opening in 2021<\/a>, before eventually hiring George Paton away from the Minnesota Vikings.<\/p>\n<p>The hiring means an already-thin Denver front office and personnel department is down another important figure. In the span of a month between January and February, the Broncos lost four supplementary decision-makers, including former assistant GM Darren Mougey to the New York Jets and vice president of football operations Mark Thewes \u2014 just like Stark \u2014 to the Raiders.<\/p>\n<p>Beneath head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton, the Broncos have plenty of behind-the-scenes holes to fill this offseason, a blow to continuity heading into 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.denverpost.com\/dp\/preference\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Want more Broncos news?
