There is no way you can blame the front office for this.  They played their cards correctly and got more value than any of you here ever predicted.  They can't help it if the Browns screwed the pooch.

And anyone comparing this to the way the Reds handled Chapman is completely clueless.  the Bengals traded McCarron when his valkue was higher than anyone here predicted.  That is the exact opposite of what the Reds did with Chapman.

Agree about Chapman, somewhat agree about the Bengals.  His value was the highest right after the 2015 season, I would think.  Maybe they should have been more proactive during 2016 and during the offseason going into 2017.  That's where I see them as culpable.  True, the Brownies fudged up that particular deal, and I said as much in the thread about that specific event.  I just feel they should have reached out to more teams earlier.  Denver, SF, NYJ, Chi, and some other teams were in just as bad shape at QB as the Brownies during that time frame.
