The Browns named John Dorsey their new general manger, owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam announced Thursday night.
Cleveland fired its previous GM and executive vice president of operations Sashi Brown earlier Thursday.
Dorsey was GM of the Chiefs from 2013 to 2016. Kansas City went 43–21 during that time.
“I have spent a majority of my football life with two franchises that also have storied history and I think I have a feel for the mentality of the fans in Cleveland and what it would mean to recreate the success this franchise once had," Dorsey said in a statement on the Brown's website.
