[Auggie]

General manager John Dorsey and the Cleveland Browns have "mutually agreed to part ways," according to a team statement.

SNIP

The 59-year-old Dorsey was the Kansas City Chiefs' general manager from 2013 to 2016. He became the Browns' general manager in December 2017 as the team was finishing an 0-16 season.

Dorsey had overseen the past two drafts and free agency in 2018 and 2019.

He selected Baker Mayfield No. 1 overall in the 2018 draft and picked star running back Nick Chubb with the team's second-round pick that year. He also made trades for starting wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry and signed troubled running back Kareem Hunt as a free agent.

Cleveland Browns GM John Dorsey was blessed with a bounty and blew it

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- John Dorsey was granted draft picks, salary cap space and power. He was allowed to hire his own coach, draft his own quarterback and trade for his own superstar receiver. He was placed in a position to win by the successes and failures of those in the job before him, and allowed to benefit from 1-31 without having to live through it.

Dorsey had it all as the Cleveland Browns general manager. And he blew it. That’s on him, and no one else.
