Jackson was Johnson’s wide receivers coach with the Bengals from 2004-06 and the two have remained close since.
Tuesday afternoon, Johnson intimated that Jackson had accepted his proposal.
There has been no official announcement from the Browns, however.
Asked on Twitter whether he had ever approached the Bengals about coaching for them, Jackson said he doesn’t think Marvin Lewis would even consider it.
Johnson spent 10 seasons in Cincinnati from 2001-2010, catching 751 passes for 10,783 yards and 66 touchdowns.
He played 15 games for New England in 2011 before retiring in 2012.
