The Browns have fired executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown, The MMQB’s Albert Breer confirmed. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Dianna Russini were first to report the news.
The Browns have been examining potential replacements for Brown “over the past few weeks,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports. One guy they like is John Dorsey, who was GM of the Chiefs from 2013 to 2016.
Brown was promoted from executive vice president-general counsel in January 2016 after spending three years with Cleveland as a salary cap specialist. He then brought in Paul DePodesta, famous for his involvement with the “Moneyball” A’s, as the team’s chief strategy officer.
