The Browns and VP of player personnel Alonzo Highsmith have mutually agreed to part ways, per a club announcement. Highsmith previously worked alongside new GM Andrew Berry, but he won’t have a role in Berry’s own front office. Ditto for assistant GM Eliot Wolf, according to ESPN.com’s Chris Mortensen (on Twitter).

Highsmith’s contract was set to run through the 2021 NFL Draft. Instead, he leaves just before the heat of the 2020 offseason. Wolf, meanwhile, was contracted through the 2022 draft.
Highsmith and Wolf joined the Browns in January of 2018. Over the last two years, they’ve been connected to a few other notable front office jobs around the league, so they probably won’t be out of work for long. Before that, Highsmith and Wolf served under John Dorsey in Green Bay, which is what led them to Cleveland in the first place.
Berry won the Browns’ GM job after fellow top candidate George Paton withdrew his name from consideration. Reportedly, Paton had serious reservations about the power structure in Cleveland, where the GM and new head coach Kevin Stefanski would be reporting directly to owner Jimmy Haslam. Berry, apparently, is comfortable with the structure, and he’s been given the OK to shape his own team as he sees fit.
And the Circus that is Cleveland rolls Right along
And the circus that is Browns bashing rolls right along.
Get a life.
There’s a reason people bash the Browns. It’s because the owner is a delusional idiot who has the fans dumbed down to accepting their dysfunctional team and enjoying losing. Of course it’s Cleveland, the city that loves and adores football and baseball teams that can’t win titles.
Just because certain things are doesn’t mean other things need to be.
Browns deserve to bashed. This organization with continue to fail with this fool of an owner.
“Ditto” really?
You have an issue with correct vocabulary?
Did you ever stop to think that people bash the Browns just to see how quickly you’ll jump to their defense? You’re like Pavlov’s dog!
