Browns Offense - TM - Cleveland Browns

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Browns now consider Syracuse's Doug Marrone and Oregon's Chip Kelly to be "neck and neck" in the race to become Cleveland's next head coach.
They are still the Browns, of course, but it's a "race" because new owner Jimmy Haslam is going to open up his wallet for the new coach. Cleveland's grip on top target Kelly has clearly loosened as of late Saturday, and there are rumors he's already agreed to a deal with the Eagles. While Kelly was meeting with Philly on Saturday, the Browns interviewed Marrone for a second time.
