Wilson: Casserly linked to Browns' opening

Former Houston Texans and Washington Redskins general manager Charley Casserly is reportedly on the Cleveland Browns' short list for a football czar role with the embattled franchise.

According to the Canton Repository, Casserly is a candidate.

And SportsTalkCleveland goes even further on its Twitter account: "WHAT WE'RE HEARING - Charlie Casserly MAY be hired as Browns President & GM within the next 72 hours. STORY DEVELOPING"

The Cleveland Plain Dealer refers to the notion that Casserly is joining the list as the "newest Internet rumor," adding that "an NFL source who would know," isn't buying it.

So, at the very least, Casserly has joined the conversation surrounding the Browns' management situation. Time will tell if he's a serious candidate or not.

Casserly, who currently works as an information man for CBS, is well-connected and well-liked in league circles.

And his decision to draft Mario Williams with the top overall pick while running the Texans instead of Reggie Bush has borne out as a smart move.
