With the Cleveland Browns adding Brad Childress to the coaching staff as their new offensive coordinator, I am wondering if this leaves Peyton Hillis on the outside looking in. The is a strange situation in Cleveland, Ohio, the Browns name a new offensive coordinator and it is also been stated Pat Shurmur will still call the plays. We all know Peyton Hillis had a terrible showing in 2011 and the team and Hillis were far apart in contract talks.
The question now remains if Hillis is going to be a part of the Cleveland Browns offense at all in 2012. Shurmur has talked about the Browns having Hillis back, the teams G.M. Heckert has talked about reaching out to Hillis, still there is no news of any movement from either side. It could be the Browns are waiting to see what Hillis is offered in free agency, or it could be the Browns were wanting to hire an offensive coordinator to get his thoughts on Hillis.
It would be interesting to find out if the new coordinator has an opinion when it comes to Payton Hillis. The Browns have got to wrap some good play-makers around the Cleveland offense this season. There is still a question as to who the Browns will have coming out of the backfield once the season starts. If Childress voices an opinion on keeping Hillis, or he sees him as an asset, it could help the Browns front office make a move to get Hillis to resign.
