Eagles exec Berry back to interview with Browns about GM opening

Andrew Berry may still have his parking spot with the Browns.

After spending three seasons in Cleveland’s front office, Berry, who is currently the Eagles’ vice president of football operations, interviewed Jan. 17 to be the

Browns’ new general manager. Berry was with the team from 2016-18, when the Browns won just eight games and had an 0-16 season.

But Berry was well-liked and admired by Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam, who are looking for another top football executive to help oversee their franchise after John Dorsey’s exit last month.

In addition to meeting with Berry, the Browns have a scheduled an interview with Monti Ossenfort, New England’s director of college scouting. They are also expected to speak with Vikings assistant GM George Paton.

Ossenfort has been in

New England since 2003, winning five Super Bowls with the Patriots. Paton worked in Minnesota with new Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, who is highly involved in the Browns’ search as the Haslams are trying to minimize any conflicts by having their coach and GM aligned from the outset.

Berry joined the Browns in 2016 after spending seven seasons with the Colts. He started in the NFL as a scouting assistant, but worked his way up the ladder and was Indy’s pro scouting director before being hired as Cleveland’s vice president of player personnel.

During his stint in Cleveland, Berry worked alongside Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta, who appears to wield more influence than ever in the organization.
