Berry was hired by Howie Roseman after previously serving as the Cleveland Browns’ vice president of player personnel. With his specialty being analytics and still only 31 years old, Berry is viewed by many as an up-and-coming talent in the NFL.
Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com is reporting that Berry will be the Haslam’s first choice, referring to the owner’s special relationship with the former Browns executive.
Haslem would love to pair Berry with the Browns Chiefs Strategy Officer Paul DePodesta, who oversees the analytics side of things.
