Former Cleveland Browns general manager Sashi Brown was back in the news this week. Former head coach Hue Jackson accused the Browns organization, including Brown, of paying to lose games. Although Jackson slightly backtracked, owner Jimmy Haslam didn’t hold back when he responded to Jackson.
At the time that Brown was the GM and Jackson was the head coach, Paul DePodesta and Andrew Berry, currently in important roles with the organization, were also a part of the team.
Brown’s name didn’t stop being in the news with Jackson’s accusation. Since being fired by the Browns, the former GM has worked for the Washington Wizards of the NBA. Until Friday when he returned to the NFL being hired by the Baltimore Ravens:
Sashi Brown is leaving Monumental Sports and the Washington Wizards to return to the NFL as an executive with the Baltimore Ravens, sources tell me and @AdamSchefter. Brown had previously been the Cleveland Browns GM.

His official role with the team has not been announced by Brown returns to the NFL and AFC North with one of Cleveland’s biggest rivals. Baltimore has long held analytical thinking in high regard and used it for both talent evaluation and decision-making in games.
With Brown on one side and DePodesta/Berry on the other, Browns versus Ravens could become an interesting chess match depending on Brown’s role in Baltimore.
We will keep you posted with more information on the new Brown to Baltimore news.
