CLEVELAND, Ohio -- I was talking on the phone to a NFL executive Thursday night when the word came out on the hiring of John Dorsey as the Browns new general manager.
The exec was telling me the Browns "could be a great job" if owner Jimmy Haslam allows the new general manager the time and freedom to make the right moves.
"In terms of picks and salary cap space, they are in a tremendous position," he said.
I spoke to another executive earlier in the day who said the same thing.
But both guys couldn't figure out why coach Hue Jackson was promised his job for 2018.
