The Browns are looking to add another solid name to their personal department, as Cleveland.com reports that new GM John Dorsey is bringing in Green Bay Packers Director of Player Ops Eliot Wolf for a sit down.
What could open the door even more for Wolf to leave the Packers and join the Browns is the fact that new Green Bay GM Brian Gutekunst wont’ stop Wolf from leaving the Packers.
ESPN reports that Gutekunst ‘wants Eliot Wolf to be his top advisor, but the Green Bay Packers general manager says he will understand if his longtime coworker leaves after getting passed over for the job.’
That could mean Wolf after a sit down with Dorsey, which will come Wednesday according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, could be the newest member of a very different looking and growing Browns front office.
Wolf, the son of Hall of Fame executive Ron Wolf who recommended Dorsey to the Jimmy Haslam, was passed over Monday for the Packers GM job when they announced another internal candidate, Brian Gutekunst, as their man.
The Packers offered Wolf “a prominent role” in the organization, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, but the GM snub did not sit well with Ron Wolf, who ran the Packers from 1991-2001.
“At least he had the opportunity to interview for it,” the elder Wolf told ESPN Sunday night. “Obviously the people up there don’t think he’s worthy or they would’ve hired him. End of discussion.”
As Garafolo pointed out in his tweet saying the meeting between the Browns and Wolf would be on Wednesday, the Browns are starting to look a lot like the ‘Packers East,’ which given the track record of Green Bay is something Browns fans should love to hear.
