How the Browns' trade for AJ McCarron fell apart

I am really just frustrated with how much compensation this team asks for when it comes to trades. It always feels unreasonable and I don't blame other teams for wanting to give up so much for what I at least see as talent not worth the price.
I also would like to see SOMETHING in return for AJ McCarron, so seeing nothing is irritating. He clearly wants to be on a team that gives him a starting opportunity and offers very little value unless the Bengals are contenders (which they are not).

I think the Bengals feel there is no point dealing for only a 2nd when they are likely to get that same return due to RFA. 

As far as the McCarron RFA status as I understand it AJ is fighting it but it's extremely likely he's to be an RFA cuz he missed the first 13 weeks of his rookie season on thr NFI.
