Browns request interview with Cory Undlin for defensive coordinator

The Cleveland Browns have requested to interview Cory Undlin, currently the defensive passing game coordinator for the Houston Texans, for their defensive coordinator position. Undlin joined the Texans in 2023 alongside head coach DeMeco Ryans, following their tenure with the San Francisco 49ers. Previously, Undlin worked with former Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz as the defensive backs coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2016 to 2019. He also has experience with Browns head coach Todd Monken from their time together at the Jacksonville Jaguars between 2009 and 2010. Monken aims to maintain the defensive scheme previously implemented by Schwartz, and Undlin's experience could support that continuity.
