A report earlier Wednesday indicated Ryan Grigson was leaving the Vikings to pursue another opportunity in the NFL. We now know what that opportunity is.
Grigson is returning to the Browns as a senior football advisor, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.
He held the same position for the Browns from 2020-21 and was a senior personnel executive in Cleveland in 2017.
New Vikings General Manager Nolan Teasley offered to keep Grigson in a different role after hiring Andrew Healy and Trent Kirchner as assistant General Managers. Grigson, though, chose to leave for Cleveland.
Grigson served as assistant General Manager for the Vikings last season under Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. It was a promotion from senior vice president of player personnel, a position he held with the Vikings from 2022-24.
Grigson worked as the Colts’ General Manager from 2012-16.
