Browns hire Heckert as GM
The Cleveland Browns have hired Tom Heckert as their new general manager, luring him away from Philadelphia.
Heckert had been with the Eagles since 2001 and was a big part of their dominance of the NFC over the past decade.
Mike Holmgren said that Heckert will have final say of the 53-man roster, with some input from him.
Heckert will have his work cut out for him in Cleveland, where the Browns haven’t seen the playoffs very much of late.
He will have the benefit of a lot of draft picks this year to increase the young talent on the roster.
