Berry has familiarity with the Browns, having served as the team's vice president of player personnel from 2016-2018 before joining the Eagles last year.
If the Browns are willing to offer him the GM job, his tenure in Philly may end up being short lived.
Prior to joining the Browns, Berry had spent multiple seasons with the Colts, from 2009-2015, working as a scouting assistant and eventually being promoted to the role of pro scouting coordinator.

The Eagles will surely be hoping to retain Berry, but are expected to grant him permission to interview with the team. Berry will be up against a handful of other potential candidates as the Browns are leaving no stone unturned in their search for a new GM.
