Gulkis said that Brown and new President Mike Holmgren discussed Brown's role with the club and it was decided moving forward he would have no title. Brown remains a part of the Browns family and recently addressed the 2010 rookie class.
Warfield, who has worked for the club in various capacities since 1981, was given his most recent role by former General Manager Phil Savage. Warfield doesn't have an office in Browns headquarters but contributed to the scouting process and attended all scouting meetings under Savage.
New GM Tom Heckert said Warfield "doesn't know" if he wants to continue in the role.
"If he wants to continue, we want him," Heckert said.
