Andrew Berry (American football)

Andrew Jeremiah Berry Jr. (born March 30, 1987) is an American professional football executive who is the executive vice president of football operations and general manager of the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). He previously served various other scouting roles with the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles.

At Harvard, Berry graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's degree in computer science. He also played football for the Harvard Crimson.

On April 29, 2021, Berry and his wife had their first daughter Eden Ruth Berry; they have two older sons, Zion and Kairo.

In 2009, Berry was hired as an assistant scout for the Indianapolis Colts. Over the next six years, he would serve as their pro scouting coordinator.

In 2016, Berry was hired to be the vice president of player personnel for the Cleveland Browns.

In 2019, Berry was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as their vice president of football operations following a tumultuous tenure with the Browns and the firing of Sashi Brown toward the end of the 2017 season.

On January 27, 2020, Berry returned to the Cleveland Browns and was hired to be their general manager and executive vice president of football operations. The move made him the youngest GM in NFL history at the time at age 32.

The largest move of Berry’s tenure as Browns GM came after the 2021 season, during which starting Quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a torn labrum. Berry and the Browns traded for Texans Quarterback Deshaun Watson, despite Watson’s ongoing legal issues involving repeated sexual assault allegations. The Browns received Watson and a sixth-round pick, while the Texans received three first-round picks and three fourth-round picks. Watson was then made the highest paid quarterback in league history. The trade is considered by many commentators to be the worst trade in NFL history. Berry noted that the rest of the front office was onboard with the decision to make the trade.

On June 5, 2024, the Browns signed Berry to a contract extension. The Browns finished the 2024 season tied for the worst record in the league at 3–14.

After another disappointing 5-12 season, Andrew Berry worked with the owner of the Cleveland Browns, Jimmy Haslem, to move on from Kevin Stefanski and hire a new head coach in Todd Monken. The hire was made official January 28, 2026, making Monken the oldest first time head coach in the history of the NFL and marking a significant change in the direction of the Cleveland Browns organization.
