Cory Spangenberg Jersey It's a rarity for an NFL team to create a general manager opening midway through the season, yet two teams did it this week. The moved quickly, Sashi Brown on Thursday and hiring former general manager John Dorsey in le s than 24 hours. While the fired Jerry Reese three days earlier, their search is expected to move far more deliberately. Though co-owner John Mara said it's "po sible" to hire someone before the end of the year, sources say the organization is expected to wait until the end of 2017 to fill its GM post. They will want to interview some personnel people who are currently employed -- which Cleveland didn't do. And several sources informed of their GM search say the do have an early favorite: former general manager Dave Gettleman. Co-owners Mara and Steve Tisch almost always hire individuals

Gettleman and Accorsi have have been in contact recently and the are the two sides are set to formally talk this week. Interim GM Kevin Abrams, a respected executive in the league, also will get serious consideration for the head job. One upside of Gettleman is that Abrams would likely stay in the organization if he were hired, perhaps with a promotion. Had Dorsey not been hired by the , the would have interviewed him, a source said. That's one reason Cleveland moved as quickly as it did.

The ' tentative plan is to hire a GM first and then a coach. If it's Gettleman, no doubt defensive coordinator Steve Wilks will get a serious look because of his reputation and their history.
