Per a Tweet via ESPN contributor Adam Schefter, the Dallas Cowboys’ senior vice president and general counsel, Alec Scheiner, has agreed to become the Cleveland Browns’ president.
“Scheiner will likely handle contracts and salary cap management while the Browns hire a personnel executive to oversee football operations,” according to Schefter.
Scheiner has been at his post with the Cowboys since 2004.
And here’s Schefter with more of the low-down on Cleveland’s allure in this news:
“Cleveland has become a desirable NFL destination with Scheiner, Jerry Jones’ right hand man, joining the team that’s now under the guidance of new owner Jimmy Haslam III and new CEO Joe Banner.
Scheiner is one of numerous people around the league who have expressed interest in moving to Cleveland. And by the time the Browns complete their organizational makeover, many expect it to have an entirely different look with an all-star cast of executives and coaches.”
Former President Mike Holmgren left the organization in late November.

And?
Does this mean someone that owns the Brownies is finally in a position to spend money on them now?
Dare I say it? (in a hushed tone) Winning season???
I’m all about bringing in good people for the job, I just hope we keep Heckert around after the great job he’s done for the few years he’s been here. I do not miss the days when we’d draft Butch Davis’ crap players and leave future hall of famers on the board.
