Eagles West? Banner In On Group Buying Browns

Posted: Updated:

The Cleveland Browns have reportedly been sold, and guess who one of the minority owners is?

That would be former Eagles President Joe Banner, who stepped away from the Eagles eight weeks ago Thursday.

Banner has said all along he wanted to get into a group buying a National Football League franchise.

The new ownership group headed by Jimmy Haslam who – believe it or not – is currently a minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Browns are starting to look like the Eagles west. General Manager Tom Heckert is the Eagles' former general manager. Pat Shurmur, one of the team's coaches, was the Eagles' quarterbacks coach under Andy Reid. And five players on the Browns 'current roster spent time here: Sheldon Brown, Chris Gocong, Jordan Norwood, Juqua Parker and Dimitri Patterson.
