	Packers.com » News » Press Releases » January 29, 2004: Browns Name Ron Wolf Personnel Specialist
		Wolf, who as Executive Vice President and General Manager helped the Green Bay Packers capture consecutive NFC Championships in 1996-97 along with a 35-21 Super Bowl XXXI triumph over the New England Patriots, has worked in professional football for the last 41 years.
		Wolf was responsible for selecting future NFL starting quarterbacks Ty Detmer (9th round in 1992), Mark Brunell (5th round in 1993), Matt Hasselbeck (6th round in 1998) and Aaron Brooks (4th round in 1999) - none of which were selected higher than the fourth round.
		Wolf also brought Reggie White to the Packers in the first season of free agency in 1993, a move which resulted in White earning Pro Bowl honors six consecutive seasons and posting 68.5 sacks from 1993-1998.

	Two-way street to success - The Boston Globe
		Wolf was among the first to use the free agency changes in 1993 to transform a dormant team, the Packers, into a free agent-fueled powerhouse that was jump-started by the unlikely signing of Hall of Fame defensive end Reggie White in the first year of the new system.
		Wolf's trade of a second-round draft choice to acquire a little-used quarterback from Atlanta named Brett Favre had something to do with it as well, but the signing of White gave the Packers an aura of respectability they had lacked since Vince Lombardi's departure.
		Wolf would be the first to tell you that free agency helped him mightily in those early days of the rebuilding, but after back-to-back Super Bowl appearances the Packers could not sustain that highest level of performance.

	SI.com - NFL - Banks: Wolf's brief tenure over in Cleveland - Monday April 12, 2004 10:01PM
		Wolf could not be reached for comment, but his imminent departure is not considered a surprise given that he was brought to Cleveland by Browns president Carmen Policy, who last week announced he will resign his position on May 1.
		Wolf's assessment earlier this offseason was that the Browns were in "good shape'' at quarterback with Couch and backup Kelly Holcomb on the roster.
		Wolf was brought in to help the Browns' evaluate the free-agent crop, but Davis said he couldn't think of anyone the team has signed who was recommended by Wolf.

	Ron Wolf follows Policy out door with Browns \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Wolf let the Cleveland Browns know late last week that he would no longer work with the team in light of the resignation of team President Carmen Policy, a source close to the situation told the Akron Beacon Journal yesterday.
		Wolf, who was hired as a part-time "personnel specialist," will not be involved with the Browns' draft, nor will he be at the minicamp.
		It is just a desire for Wolf to move on now that the person he agreed to work for and communicated with no is longer going to be with the team.

		Wolf wishes he could have surrounded Brett Favre with more talent, laments making Antonio Freeman the NFL's highest-paid receiver and regrets the way he handled cutting Mark Chmura, who was acquitted earlier this year of sexually assaulting a teen-ager.
		To Wolf, football always was a game of blocking and tackling, but he said it has been complicated by underachieving and overpaid players, outrageous agents and the salary cap.
		Wolf, who served in Army intelligence in Berlin, learned how to scout under the guidance of Raiders owner Al Davis, with whom he spent 24 years in addition to stints with the Jets and Buccaneers.

	Sporting News, The: The old school loses a master - football scout Ron Wolf - Brief Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		At heart, Ron Wolf is a scout, an old-line, grass-roots football scout who, long before computers and frequent-flyer miles, learned about the pro game in a most unglamorous fashion.
		What kept them in the game for so long--the thrill of competing, of seeing a nugget of an idea bloom into success--no longer is enough to offset the daily disturbance to their sense of dignity and correctness.
		In a few years, Wolf did the unthinkable: He found a gem in coach Mike Holmgren and a superstar in quarterback Brett Favre; lured free agents to small-town Green Bay, beginning with Reggie White; and, ultimately, earned a Super Bowl ring for his genius.

		It's possible Wolf could be providing input on the Packers' final draft pick of his tenure, and on a pick that was acquired from Cleveland in return for his services.
		Wolf grew up in the old AFC under Al Davis' stern eye, and if the reports are true, he'll conclude his legendary career with the franchise Paul Brown built.
