Former Browns general manager John Dorsey is set to join a new team. Dorsey will be a senior personnel executive with the Detroit Lions as part of that team’s front office overhaul.
The deal is still not finalized but several reporters both local to Detroit and nationally have confirmed the deal is in place and will be announced mid-week.
Dorsey was the Browns GM from the end of the winless 2017 team through the end of the 2019 season. He was responsible for adding several key pieces to the Browns current roster, including Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr., Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt and Sheldon Richardson. He also had some prominent misses, and his willingness to overlook character concerns created problems with players like Antonio Callaway.
Dorsey spent the 2020 season as a scouting consultant for the Philadelphia Eagles.
