GREEN BAY — John Dorsey wasn’t a fan of the term.
“I wouldn’t call it ‘Green Bay East.’ I’d call it the Cleveland Browns,” the Browns general manager and former Green Bay Packers personnel executive replied when asked about his staff in Cleveland — one that includes ex-Packers scouts Eliot Wolf (assistant general manager) and Alonzo Highsmith (vice president of personnel).
Dorsey smiled as he said this, knowing very well that his rebuilding Browns have a distinct green-and-gold hue to their operation — and that he consulted Wolf and Highsmith before acquiring cornerback Damarious Randall (the Packers’ 2015 first-round pick) in a trade last month and before signing wide receiver/special-teams ace Jeff Janis earlier this week.
