Bruce Arians told The Canton Repository on Sunday that the Cleveland Browns’ head-coaching position is the only job for which he’d be willing to come out of retirement. “Cleveland is the only job I would consider,” said Arians, who was in Cleveland with CBS as part of the broadcast team for Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs-Browns game. Arians, 66, also touted his former boss with the Indianapolis Colts as a possibility for Brown’s General Manager John Dorsey to consider. “My guy would be Chuck Pagano,” Arians told the newspaper.

Michael Badgley was signed from the practice squad to the active roster.
