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.
Baalke was the Jaguars’ GM from 2021 through 2024. His teams had a combined record of 25-43 with one playoff appearance and one playoff win.
Baalke was also the general manager in San Francisco from 2010 through 2016, with those 49ers teams finishing with a record of 82-97-1.
