The Cleveland Browns are apparently making wholesale changes to their defensive staff and they've begun by acquiring Gregg Williams to be their next defensive coordinator.
Williams will also be bringing at least three to four assistants with him as the Browns attempt to fix what was one of the NFL's worst defenses in 2016. Coach Hue Jackson was close to former defensive coordinator Ray Horton but was on board with the change.
The #Browns have fired defensive coordinator Ray Horton and are hiring former #Rams DC Gregg Williams, sources say.

Can confirm #Browns have fired DC Ray Horton and agreed in principle with Gregg Williams to be their new DC.
