The Harvard degrees are paying off well in the Cleveland Browns’ front office. This regime has done something that no other regime in recent memory has done, and that is signing young, established veterans in free agency. Veterans that the Browns didn’t have before because of the constant regime changes and the talent walking out the door.
For years, the free agency frenzy left Browns fans upset, jaded, and even storming the Factory of Sadness with pitchforks. They signed old veterans at the end of their careers looking to collect a paycheck. They let homegrown players walk away in free agency and those same players went on to succeed on other teams.
