Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports the Browns have yet to receive a "firm" interview commitment from Vikings assistant GM George Paton.The Browns reached out to Paton last week in hopes of interviewing him for the team's vacant general manager position, but apparently they're still waiting for his response. Paton has a clear link to new coach Kevin Stefanski, who he worked with in Minnesota, though there's reportedly no "guarantee" he'll accept the Browns' interview request. Eagles VP of football operations Andrew Berry is seen as the favorite to replace fired GM John Dorsey in Cleveland.

I don't think so but there must have been some reason he went back for a second visit.
I'm guessing his respect for Stefanski, who was probably begging him to give it every chance. 

Good call. Hadn't thought of that

Browns hired former Eagles VP of Football Operations Andrew Berry for GM and EVP of Football Operations.The writing was on the wall once Vikings assistant GM George Paton withdrew his name from consideration. Now 32, Berry’s scouting stints includes stops with the Colts, Browns and Eagles. He previously had a hand in everything with Philadelphia and will expand upon those duties even further in Cleveland with input and control of the team’s 53-man roster. Berry, the league’s youngest GM, will also assist in filling out the rest of coach Kevin Stefanski’s staff moving forward.
