Former Jaguars' GM reportedly takes on consultant role with Browns
A former Jacksonville Jaguars' GM is reportedly joining the Browns in a "consultant-like" role.
A former -- and recent -- general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars is reportedly joining the Cleveland Browns . According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, Trent Baalke is taking on a "consultant-like capacity" with the Browns. Andrew Berry is the Browns' GM and has held that title since 2020.
Cleveland has a record of 45-56 during that span. The Jaguars moved on from Baalke early during the 2025 offseason. The team eventually hired James Gladstone after initially making Liam Coen the head coach shortly after Baalke's departure.
In Gladstone's first season, he overhauled the roster, and Coen would guide the Jaguars to a 13-4 record, an AFC South title, and a playoff appearance. The #Browns have added longtime NFL executive Trent Baalke in a consultant-like capacity, a source tells @CBSSports . Was most recently general manager of the #Jaguars from 2021-24.
