Besides there were still reports that it was the Bengals fault late in the day. So many people who get paid to report news were wrong. If you want to give the Bengals a pass for waiting to offer up McCarron until 3:30pm on deadline day that's fine. But if they wanted to trade him they could have started the process a little earlier. It is week 8. A lot of blame to go around.
I think it's ridiculous to act like the Browns messed up a trade "accidently" (their Front Office clearly wasn't on same page as Coaching staff)...... Think about it. They've been trading like crazy for the past 2 years. They know what they are doing, and have more experience with trades then the Bengals Front Office.
Who cares now tho. The trade didn't happen. Move on.
I don't know why people are acting like the Bengals messed up for waiting so long. That's how long it took to get an offer they were willing to accept. It's called shrewd negotiating. Here is our price. It took the Browns until the last minutes to know they had to meet the offer if they wanted him. Sorry, no way is this on the Bengals front office.
