In the latest episode of the team's continual inability to properly address its quarterback situation  the Browns reportedly failed to complete a deal for  the Bengals' AJ McCarron  just as the league's deadline arrived at 3 p.m. Tuesday. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter  Cleveland and Cincinnati actually came to an agreement at 2:55 p.m.  but while the Bengals sent their approval of the trade to the NFL in time  the Browns did not.
Speaking of that price  if those reports are accurate  they raise the question of why the Browns were offering so much for  McCarron  when the Patriots' more highly regarded Jimmy Garoppolo went to the 49ers on Monday for just one second-round pick. Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith offered an explanation  positing that since Garoppolo will be an unrestricted free agent after this season  while  McCarron  will be restricted  the latter figures to be much cheaper to sign.
It can't be very comforting to Cleveland fans to think that their squad may be nickel-and-dime-ing its quarterback position. In fairness  Browns Coach Hue Jackson worked with  McCarron  when he was the Bengals' offensive coordinator  so he may well have considered the former fifth-round draft pick a better fit for his offense.
Cleveland is now 0-8  tied with the 49ers for the worst record in the NFL  this after going 1-15 last year. Little wonder  then  that some internet observers felt that McCarron was lucky to have barely avoided being thrust into such a dysfunctional situation.
Browns' trade for A.J. McCarron fails because team reportedly too busy celebrating it
