CLEVELAND, Ohio — Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is turning to a familiar face to fill one of the most important roles on his coaching staff. Christian Jones will be the new tight ends coach, a source confirmed for cleveland.com.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski will reassume playcalling duties next season after relinquishing them midway through the 2024 campaign.

Stefanski called plays for his first four years with the Browns before making ex-OC Ken Dorsey the play caller late in the 2024 season.

The Cleveland Browns promoted their old tight ends coach Tommy Rees to offensive coordinator and hired Christian Jones to replace him.

Jones then joined the staff of Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka in 2022 as the Giants’ assistant quarterbacks coach. New York has struggled with inconsistent quarterback play over the last few years, but Jones pulled a few impressive performances out of undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito in 2023.

The Browns are hiring Christian Jones as their next tight ends coach, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Jones spent the 2024 season as the Giants assistant quarterbacks coach and will now reunite with Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland.

The New York Giants have a new opening on their coaching staff as the Cleveland Browns are hiring assistant quarterbacks coach Christian Jones to be their tight ends coach. Jones has been with the Giants for three season as an assistant coach for Brian Daboll.
