BEREA, Ohio - The Browns and director player of engagement Jamil Nortcutt will part ways in the coming weeks, a league source told Northeast Ohio Media Group.

It's believed the club could fill the opening by promoting from within the organization.

Northcutt has spent just 15 months with the franchise after replacing former player liaison and Browns tight end Aaron Shea. He's still finishing up duties with the club, but a new director should be in place shortly. It's not known why the two sides came to the decision.

Northcutt also had worked with Browns general manager Ray Farmer in the Chiefs organization for several seasons.

He arrived in Cleveland after serving six years (2008-14) as assistant athletics director for internal operations at the University of Mississippi. Prior to that role, Northcutt spent three years (2005-08) with the Chiefs as player development coordinator.
