Bengals and Browns tried, but failed, to complete trade for QB AJ McCarron before deadline, per sources. Deal was “close”; not finalized.

i actually like AJ McCarron, but it's not even surprising that the FO can't work out a deal with a backup QB from the bengals.

Crazy I would rather have Kizer than McCarren

The best and/or worst case scenario is if they thought AJ was the next Cousins...
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

j/c: Browns miss a real opportunity to add a quarterback they could have benched three times before the end of the season. 
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

Utter incompetence. Adam Schefter Verified account @AdamSchefter Bengals and Browns actually agreed to AJ McCarron trade at 3:55 pm, per source involved. Bengals approved trade to NFL, Browns did not. Tweet

Wonder if Haslam put the stops to it.
Save the decisions for the next guys.

Just asking...did the FO attempt and fail after they started getting all the criticism for not attempting to land Garappolo?

After 55 years, I'm walking away from this dumpster fire. Good luck to everyone who continues to hang on. You'll need it.

Also, someone who has a good idea what Hue has had to deal with is "talking"...speaking out about what Hue has had to deal with attempting to work with the Browns front office.

UPDATE 5:16 p.m. ET: Schefter updated his report to say the Bengals thought the deal was done minutes before the deadline, but the Browns did not approve it with the league. link

This is so pitiful. Even for the Browns. Adam Schefter Verified account @AdamSchefter Browns disputed proposed AJ McCarron trade to NFL, arguing it should be allowed, per source. NFL declined - no trade, officially, per source Tweet

I think Jackson and Sashi are for sure and I doubt that the next man up on each side is going to be enthused to keep anyone on staff. We are about to go nuclear again. Agreed. At some point this has just been an epic failure of everyone involved. Haslem is reportedly furious that Hue is using back channel media contacts (Silver and Albright) to leak his issues with the ORG, and Sashi and the FO just seems clueless on how to operate. I can envision a scenario where Sashi is able to save his job, but yields significant authority to a traditional FO personnel guy. I see no way Hue survives this if the word about Haslem being irate as is being reported is true. I hate it, but unfortunately would be more shocked at this point if change doesn't come than if it does.
Against logic,the most effective armor is willful ignorance.

Wentz? Nope.
Watson? Nope.
Garrapolo? Nope.
Mccarron? YES!
You cannot continue with this stupidity.
The Browns stupidity saved them from Mccarron, but the fact they wanted him to begin with is gross incompetence.

ugh, were an embrrassment
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
