Browns To Hire Eagles’ Catherine Raiche

Catherine Raiche‘s NFL rise is set to continue, and the next step will take place in Cleveland. The Browns are set to hire the Eagles executive, according to USA Today’s Jori Epstein (on Twitter).

Previously rising to the role of Eagles vice president of football operations, Raiche is set to work in an assistant GM-type capacity with the Browns, per Epstein. The Browns lost Andrew Berry‘s previous top lieutenant, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, when he became the Vikings’ GM. Raiche has only been in the NFL since 2019 but experience in an assistant GM role, serving in that capacity with the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes in 2017.

Raiche, 33, interviewed for the Minnesota job Adofo-Mensah landed. The Eagles promoted the young exec to the VP of football ops role in May 2021, making her the highest-ranking female exec at that point. With the Browns, she will still hold that distinction. Raiche worked with Berry in 2019, when the current Browns GM worked as the Eagles’ VP of football ops. After rising to the role Berry vacated, Raiche is set to play a significant role in Cleveland.

The Eagles have lost a few key personnel staffers this offseason. Both Ian Cunningham and director of player personnel Brandon Brown left for jobs with the Bears and Giants, respectively, during the winter. The Eagles also fired college scouting director Casey Weidl earlier Wednesday.
