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 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.

I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing this idea that the Browns screwed up, were inept, and somehow celebrated before the trade went through. They knew what they were doing. They have far more experience trading then the Bengals do. They've made over 10 trades the last 2 years. They know how to get one done. They didn't want to give up that much for McCarron. Hue might have wanted to, but they didn't. Don't give them the inept Browns excuse. I also am defending my original post as news broke given how much of the story has changed as the evening went on. Maybe it wasn't accurate, but that was reports coming from paid "journalist" at the time. Quote:"Success doesn’t mean every single move they make is good" ~ Anonymous

Confusion was worse as it's being reported by Hobspin that McCarron was packed and ready to go.

The Bengals had AJ McCarron traded to the Browns and the Browns wanted him. The Browns even thought the deal was done. The Bengals did everything in time but the NFL said the Cleveland Browns failed to get the trade in by 4 PM of Trade Deadline. Hue Jackson and the Browns have argued to the NFL they thought they got it in, they tried to get it in, and for NFL to approve the trade. The NFL says Cleveland missed the Deadline and no trade. The News is saying, " That is so Cleveland ". The News reports are saying it made sense for Cleveland to want McCarron who Hue Jackson already knows. That Cleveland who has been looking for a quarterback for years may have just traded for the one they have been looking for in McCarron, but they didn't get the trade to the NFL in until after the deadline. It said they missed the window by 30 seconds....how about an appeal where they show it was submitted before the deadline? I'm sure this crap wouldn't have been shot down for the pats or steelers.

They didn't screw it up. Whoever the faction in the Browns org. was that didn't want the deal ended up having the final say. And, from the Browns pov, that person or persons did the right thing. The stupid thing for them was ever wanting the deal in the first place.
Would have been a windfall for the Bengals and a really bad idea for the Browns.
