Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
One of the other leading candidates for the Browns job, Dave Wannstedt, accepted a job today with the Buffalo Bills to be their assistant head coach/linebackers coach, according to reports. Jauron has received multiple inquiries, including from the Philadelphia Eagles. But Plain Dealer staffer Mary Kay Cabot said Jauron's familiarity with Browns President Mike Holmgren and GM Tom Heckert has him leaning toward the Browns. Jauron formerly was the head coach of the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears. He would be the first coordinator to join the staff of new HC Pat Shurmur. In an appearance on Profootballtalk Live, Shurmur declined to confirm or deny Jauron's hiring. "I think it'lll become public and official from the Browns side very quickly," he said. "Obviously Dick's a very well respected guy in the profession, a guy I've known him a long, long time."
