Cleveland sports radio host, Dustin Fox,
called it when he said to keep an eye on San Francisco 49ers passing-game coordinator and defensive backs coach Joe Woods for the Browns' defensive coordinator job.
New Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has reportedly narrowed down his choices to two NFL assistants, according to Jim Trotter of NFL Media — Woods and current Browns defensive coordinator, Steve Wilks. A decision could come soon.
The 49ers, of course, are preparing for the NFC Championship Game this weekend against the Green Bay Packers. Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee reported on Monday that Woods would have been a "prominent internal candidate" to land San Francisco's defensive coordinator job had the Browns hired Robert Saleh to be their head coach rather than Stefanski.
Woods spent two seasons as the Denver Broncos' defensive coordinator before joining the 49ers a year ago. He has also served on the staffs of the Oakland Raiders, Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his career.
Woods and Stefanski worked together in Minnesota from 2006 through 2013.

"In addition to inking Kittle to a bigger contract, the team's plan at tight end this offseason involved finding an accomplished backup who could relieve Kittle for stretches of a game," wrote Matt Barrows of The Athletic. "He missed two starts

$198.2 million.
That's the salary cap figure that NFL decision-makers have been working with since the limit was set in March. Actually, they had been working with a number in that realm since long before that, as teams figured the salary cap would reach close to $200 million in 2020.
With so much uncertainty heading into the upcoming season, as the league pushes forward to play amidst a pandemic, NFL owners are pushing for a lower salary cap number, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
No, not just beyond this year. Including 2020.
Owners are reportedly proposing to lower the salary cap for this season and 2021 to partially offset any losses due to the potential (and likely) absence of fans within stadiums. Such a move could create

The Jamal Adams saga (or is it a drama?) continues. He wants out of New York, and Daily News reporter Manish Mehta is reporting that Jets general manager Joe Douglas is open to entertaining the possibility.
"Adams confirmed to the Daily News on Thursday that the Jets GM has indeed conveyed his willingness to move the team's best player if the right deal presents itself after intense acrimony this offseason," wrote Mehta.
Until now, all reports have stated that the Jets were unwilling to part with their All-Pro safety.
While this may not seem 49ers-related just yet, I bring it up because earlier this month, an
