"One of Jerry Jones’ right hand man...". I knew that Jerry was unique but mulitple right hands?

Am I missing something here?

The NFL is a business. Wouldn't you want people involved with the league's most valuable franchise working for your business?

I would.

While they are the Browns, they have a very loyal following. And they are a pretty well-to-do franchise given the economic climate of Cleveland and how poorly they have been playing. If I were the owner, the first priority would be to start winning again, but that would follow with being ahead of the game to capitalize upon that financially.
