Jim Schwartz is a defensive coordinator again for the first time since his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles expired after the 2020 season.
Schwartz was hired by the Cleveland Browns. It’s there he rejoins the organization that he broke into the NFL with — thanks to help from then-head coach Bill Belichick — as a personnel scout back in 1993.
Schwartz spent the last two seasons as a senior defensive assistant for the Tennessee Titans.
The Browns hiring Schwartz holds meaning to the Eagles beyond the curiosity of seeing how he’ll fare there.
