As the Browns hunt for Kevin Stefanski’s replacement, a Mike Tomlin jump to Cleveland would be a dream hire--but a specific 'contract trap' and the Steelers' retained rights mean this AFC North blockbuster is officially dead on arrival.

Browns GM Andrew Berry hasn't wasted time getting the head coach search going. It started Thursday, January 8th, and the list has grown fast. Jim Schwartz is still an internal name to watch after turning Cleveland's defense into a real force,
