Both teams want the trade to happen and it was decided and paperwork was drawn up and signed prior to the deadline means a successful trade to me.
I don't know the technicalities but I kinda agree. If the Browns send in a signed document and the bengals send in their signed document and the trade details are exactly the same then that should suffice. At least allow them to get a fully signed document in to the nfl office as there was clear intent.I don't think the Browns were all on the same page.
I hope they can agree on something in the offseason
