[Breer] Hot Names to Watch As Potential Future NFL General Managers (with an interesting note on Cook and Berry)

“would be a candidate for another promotion in Cleveland if the Browns restructure their front office (and move Andrew Berry into an elevated role).”
People have talked about moving Berry to president and hiring a GM for a while but this is the first time I’ve seen a well regarded journalist recognize this as a possibility
AB into an *elevated* role?
Hasn’t Mr.Four-12 , formerly Mr.Three-14, failed upwards long enough? Replace him with someone brought up in the Eagles, Ravens, or 49ers front office.
Edit: AB spent 1 year in PHI, but spent 6 years “brought up” in two garbage franchises. We need a thoroughbred
AB to President of Football Operations then Cook/Raiche get GM then VP of Ops barring one getting poached this cycle
Set the organization up for the long term
Glen Cook was highly involved with the draft this year, as compared to past years.
If this is true, it makes you wonder how much of this class did Cook have a hand in, and if this happens then you know Berry’s role here is long term.
There were rumors of Berry being promoted months ago…as a cap overseer and more apparently.
Promote Berry and give Glen Cook the job.
We have an opening for Chief Strategy Officer
I don’t understand how anyone in this front office from Berry to Cook to Raiche could be considered for any GM role, even here, after the mess of the roster they have created. Their defensive acquisitions have been okay to good. But have completely fubar’d the offensive side.
There’s room at the top and would be a nice reward for Berry.
