Browns GM Phil Kokinis told the Cleveland Plain Dealer he “pushed for a lot of the Jets” the team has signed in free agency.

Four players — LB David Bowens, LB Eric Barton, DL C.J. Moseley, CB Hank Poteat — have been added who played for Mangini in New York.

“I was excited they wanted to play for their head coach that they had played for before,” he said. “I think that showed something about Eric, that guys believe in that program.”
