Cleveland Browns hire ex-Detroit Lions GM Bob Quinn as consultant

Ex-Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn has a new job.

NFL Network reported Friday the Cleveland Browns hired Quinn as senior consultant to their football operations department.

Quinn still has two years left on his contract with the Lions, and had been in the running for a front office position with the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this year.

He was fired last November, along with head coach Matt Patricia, 11 games into his fifth season as GM.

Quinn replaced Martin Mayhew as Lions GM in 2016 and helped the Lions reach the playoffs in his first season in Detroit.
