Earlier this month, we speculated that a number of New England Patriots coaches, staffers, and players could be headed elsewhere come 2020.
It turns out that those preliminary rumblings and whispers may have been very accurate after all.
According to ESPN’s Jake Trotter, the Cleveland Browns have already requested permission to interview Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels for their head coach vacancy. Trotter cites his colleague and fellow insider Adam Schefter with the report, who in turn cites sources of his own for the information.
The Carolina Panthers and New York Giants have also reportedly requested permission to interview McDaniels.
