Browns interview former QB and Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey for opening, AP source says

Associated Press  

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns may bring back one of their many former starting quarterbacks to oversee their offense. The Browns have also scheduled a meeting with Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson for the OC position, the person said. The 42-year-old Dorsey was Buffalo’s offensive coordinator before being let go by Bills coach Sean McDermott in November. Cleveland’s offensive coordinator spot opened earlier this week with the surprising departure of Alex Van Pelt, who had been on coach Kevin Stefanski’s staff since 2020. Last week, the team interviewed Seattle offensive line coach Andy Dickerson for the offensive coordinator opening.
