Bengals and Browns actually agreed to AJ McCarron trade at 3:55 pm, per source involved. Bengals approved trade to NFL, Browns did not.

The Browns fucking up the trade with Cincinnati also tells Kiser he’s not the answer there. Great job guys

Grossi says that apparently the Browns were celebrating their trade and forgot to call in the deal before the deadline...

seems both trade partners in this may have been out of sync

but if there is one team to blame more than the other, I'd also think it would be the Browns ... because

Browns' Failure to Copy NFL on Email Led to Failed AJ McCarron Trade
The Cleveland Browns' front office failed to include the NFL in any communications with the Cincinnati Bengals about a proposed deal for quarterback AJ McCarron before Tuesday's trade deadline, which caused the agreement to fall through.

On Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported Chris Cooper, the Browns' director of football administration, sent a signed document to the Bengals at 3:54 p.m.—six minutes before the deadline—but Cincinnati didn't see it in time and sent its own paperwork to the league. If he included the NFL in the email, the trade would have been completed on time.

The miscommunication appeared to stem from the fact Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown and Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin were working on the trade, so Cincinnati wasn't expecting an email to come from Cooper, per Cabot.

In addition, the report noted the Browns expected the Bengals to sign Cleveland's document and send it to the league, to which another NFL executive told Cleveland.com: "It would be crazy for the Browns to expect the Bengals to send the Browns' paperwork to the NFL. They know they have to notify the league themselves."

McCarron has filed a grievance against the Bengals in order to get out of his RFA status going into the offseason.
