The Cleveland Browns scooped up one of the most coveted front-office executives on the market Wednesday, hiring Eliot Wolf as their assistant general manager on a reported four-year contract, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Wolf, who represents a huge hire for Browns general manager John Dorsey, was serving as director of football operations with the Green Bay Packers after being hired in 2004 as a pro personnel assistant.
His father, Ron Wolf, was a longtime Packers GM.
Eliot reportedly received interest from the Oakland Raiders, as well as the Packers, who hoped to retain him despite handing the general manager job to Brian Gutekunst, another in-house candidate.
