Daily Dawg Tags: Cleveland Browns, George Paton examining potential fit
By Dan Justik
The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including if George Paton feels he would fit with the organization.
With the Senior Bowl underway in Mobile, Alabama, the Cleveland Browns are still conducting their search for a general manager. The process could be winding down, as Minnesota Vikings assistant general manager George Paton made his second visit to the Browns facility on Wednesday.
It was reported on Monday that the Browns could potentially hire Paton early this week and Wednesday seemed like the day a move would be made. Paton making a second visit with the organization made it appear that an agreement could be in the works.
Instead, Paton finished his visit with the Browns and traveled back to Minnesota with no reported agreement in place. Paton is known to be very selective about jobs he interviews for, so it is no guarantee his two visits means he is destined to take the job.

"A source said Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, who worked with Paton for 13 years in Minnesota wants him “in the worst way,” but both sides have some things to work through before they’re ready to make the commitment."
It is not a surprise that Paton is the perceived favorite for the job considering his connections with Kevin Stefanski. However, the Browns will need to make sure they will have the front office structured in a manner that suits Paton since he will only leave Minnesota for a job that he considers is the perfect fit.
