AP source: Browns interview Vikings assistant GM for opening. MORE:
Paton, who worked with new Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, met with the team's search committee — including Stefanski — on Saturday, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not confirming any interviews during the process.
Paton would seem to be a natural fit with Stefanski, the Vikings former offensive co-ordinator hired last week by the Browns following a 6-10 season. Cleveland fired coach Freddie Kitchens and GM John Dorsey resigned last month. Owner Jimmy Haslam and his committee have met with two other GM candidates: Philadelphia Eagles vice-president of football operations Andrew Berry and New England Patriots college scouting director Monti Ossenfort.However, because of his background with Stefanksi, Paton could be a better match. He's drawn interest in the past from other NFL teams, but spent the past 13 seasons in Minnesota as GM Rick Spielman's right-hand man.
Last week, Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta said the team would meet with “three to five candidates” for the GM job. Cleveland's roster has been dramatically upgraded the past two years, thanks to Dorsey, who inherited a team that went 0-16 in 2017.
