Capologist swap completed
The Browns on Monday announced they are adding Matt Thomas as vice president of football administration, effectively completing the “trade” that sent Dawn Aponte to the Miami Dolphins.
Aponte recently accepted the position of senior vice president of football operations with the Dolphins. In one of her last acts with the Browns, you might recall, Aponte reportedly gave Joshua Cribbs the “take it or leave it” contract offer, sending him into a tizzy.
So, good riddance to her if that report is true. This new guy can’t do anything worse than alienating the team’s best player.
Thomas had been with the Dolphins for 12 years. According to the press release issued by the Browns, “he held numerous football administrative functions, which included assisting with the management of the salary cap, player contract negotiations, football budgeting and acting as a liaison with the NFL Management Council on salary cap compliance and other labor and legal matters. Thomas is a graduate of the University of Denver, University of South Dakota School of Law and the New York University School of Law.”
Optimistically, having this guy in place could mean the Browns, if they ever make the playoffs again, won’t have to cut all their starting linebackers in a salary-cap purge as they did in 2002.
