Browns' front office restructuring continues
CLEVELAND — Andrew Berry has quickly gotten to work on restructuring the Browns. In a drastic way.
A day after Berry was officially hired as Cleveland’s new general manager, the team parted ways with assistant general manager Eliot Wolf and vice president of player personnel Alonzo Highsmith, a person familiar with the Browns’ latest front office shakeup told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
College scouting director Steve Malin also has left the team, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the moves have not been made public.
Wolf, the son of Hall of Fame executive Ron Wolf, and Highsmith were both brought to Cleveland two years ago by former GM John Dorsey, who resigned on Dec. 31 after declining an offer to take a lesser role with the team.
Highsmith’s departure was expected for weeks and happened almost immediately after Berry returned following one season in Philadelphia as the Eagles’ vice president of football operations. Berry, who worked in Cleveland’s front office from 2016-18, is the NFL’s youngest GM.
