MOBILE, Ala. -- The Browns have interviewed Lions senior personnel executive Brian Xanders and former Falcons director of player personnel Lionel Vital for their top personnel job, league sources told cleveland.com.
Xanders has been with the Lions for three years and Vital, who began his career with the Browns under Bill Belichick, was with the Falcons for three years until they parted ways about two weeks ago.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam traveled here to participate in the interviews, which are being conducted primarily by Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown. He also took the Browns scouts to dinner on Monday night, along with Brown and coach Hue Jackson.
