According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, former Cleveland Browns general manager Michael Lombardi is leaving the New England Patriots. If you recall, after Lombardi was fired by the Browns in early 2014, he quickly rejoined long-time buddy Bill Belichick to be an assistant to the coaching staff in New England.
Lombardi's departure in New England doesn't seem to be a result of poor performance. In fact, he was credited with recruiting key talent to the Patriots from Cleveland, including OLB Jabaal Sheard and RB Dion Lewis.
