CLEVELAND -- It’s open season for NFL general managers, and that means one thing when it comes to the Green Bay Packers: Speculation ramps up over who will be in charge of the football operation whenever the Ted Thompson era ends.
It started up again after the move the Packers’ opponent Sunday, the Cleveland Browns, made this week when they hired John Dorsey as their GM. Dorsey, the longtime former Packers scout, had been out of work since the Kansas City Chiefs surprisingly let him go over the summer.
The usual Packers threesome of high-ranking scouts Brian Gutekunst, Alonzo Highsmith and Eliot Wolf will soon become mentioned as possible candidates as other jobs open, if they haven’t already been discussed.
