ORLANDO, FLA. — Browns general manager Andrew Berry was like a politician on Election Day on Tuesday morning.

Berry was one of five general managers, along with the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders and New York Jets, who had put forth a proposal being considered by the league's owners to move the trade deadline from the Tuesday following Week 8 to the Tuesday following Week 10. And on this Tuesday, as he spoke to a small group of beats writers, including the Beacon Journal, at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Fla., he was waiting on the outcome of the vote.
