Jason La Canfora:

With new Cards Bruce Arians exploring options at DC (Todd Bowles is one target), and Cards DC Ray Horton hoping to explore other options...

Horton would be a top choice with the Browns, where he interviewed as a HC candidate, while Chip Kelly likely wants a DC other than Bowles

Not that I'm supporting acting like that, but I can understand his frustration. I felt like he's been considered the front-runner since their season went down hill. Maybe that was just public perception and not what anyone was told privately.
