Report: Former Lions GM Bob Quinn lands new job with Browns

Allen Park — Former Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn has landed a new job, joining the Cleveland Browns' front office as a senior consultant for the football operations department, according to an NFL Network report.

The Lions hired Quinn in 2016 after a 16-year stint with the New England Patriots where he worked his way up from a low-level assistant to the team's director of pro scouting.

Upon his arrival in Detroit, Quinn opted to retain coach Jim Caldwell and the team enjoyed back-to-back 9-7 seasons, including a postseason berth. But Quinn had higher aspirations for the franchise, dismissing Caldwell after the 2018 season and hiring Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia to led the team.
