Should be formally announced this week -- but AP and the OBR (a Browns site) have both independently confirmed it's a done deal. They're still working out details, including the title.

I'm guessing it may include VP/GM or something similar.

And the news keeps getting better.

Pretty impressive resume' for Heckert...I hope he brings that success to the Browns.

Great pickup...My guess is he will be Vice President of Football Operations...And Will Lewis from Seattle will be the GM

President: Holmgren
Vice President: Heckert
GM: Lewis
Head Coach: Mangini

That is a great Front Office...
