Browns Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Team owner Randy Lerner is very interested in Eric Mangini after interviewing with the former Jets coach last week.

Mangini reportedly named Kokonis as someone he'd like to work with. Both worked with the Browns under Bill Belichick in the early 1990s. Pioli, meanwhile, has gone on to interview with Kansas City, which is also seeking a new general manager. It's possible Mangini could be hired before...
