How the Browns' trade for AJ McCarron fell apart

The way it seems to me is the Bengals think they are gonna get a 2nd round tender on McCarron that teams are likely to jump on. That means there is no point in talk to anyone offering less than a 2nd. They pushed the process all the way up until the Browns caved 20 minutes before the deadline and offered a 2nd and 3rd. It's a shame that it didn't work out but they still will most likely have that 2nd round tender to fall back on.
