According to a publication called The News-Herald (serving Northern Ohio), the Browns have brought back ex-GM Ernie Accorsi:
Have The Browns Brought Back GM Ernie Accorsi?
Sources said Ernie Accorsi was hired as the team’s GM. The move is a blast from the past for Browns’ fans. Accorsi was the Browns’ GM from 1985 to 1992.
He also served as GM of the Colts from 1982 to 83, and also worked in the Giants’ front office from 1994 to 2004, including a stint as New York’s GM from 1998 and on.
In 2004, he spearheaded a trade to get No. 1 pick Eli Manning from the Chargers.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen confirms that Accorsi is “consulting” with the Browns, but has no knowledge of Ernie being re-hired as the team’s GM.
Since 1980, the Browns have made the playoffs nine times. Ernie Accorsi was the GM for five of those.
