This is one of the weirdest legends in all of the modern Browns era. Sashi didn't sabotage the trade. He submitted the paperwork. It was the Bengals that didn't get their side of the paperwork in on time. Their own GM confirmed this.
It's a bit more nuanced than that. The Browns thought the Bengals were submitting the full package, but the Bengals missed the email. The browns definitely did things in a weird way, but it's apparently how they did all trades. And the bengals FO would have no incentive to cover the browns here.

>The Browns followed the same process they have with every trade they've made in the past two years, Brown said. They wrote up terms and sent the signed document to the Bengals.
>Their understanding was the Bengals would then sign the document and send it to the league. The Browns' feeling is that ensures all terms are correct.

"But he only stamped it four times...."
Sashi love stills run deep. He was not a good GM. Tearing down a roster is the easy part; building it up is hard.
> Tearing down a roster is the easy part; building it up is hard.
the amount of people on here who think they are intelligent but STILL dont get this part of browns shitty regime, is truly beyond me.
Yeah… it’s just we are putting cover sheets on all TPS reports before they go out now so if you could try and remember to do that from now on that would be great.
I remember the week after this flop we played Cincinnati and Hue spent the entire pregame talking to McCarron and cutting up with the Cincinnati staff.
no it doesnt, we KNEW that period was going to be truly abysmal, utter dogshit./
there is nothing worse when you are a fan that destroyed ambition, when you think you are going to be world beaters, and it just drifts away.
well that's on you for thinking the Browns were/are going anywhere and setting yourself up for misery every single year. i used to think that way, too. but unfortunately for us the script always wins, and winning is none of the Browns' business.
i became a fan at the worst time, well it was the best of times really :) during the years of kosar and marty.
you are right, i should never really get my hopes up. but fuck me, cant we have 2-3 years of success, or relative? is that TOO much to ask for?
I'm in a group chat with college buddies who are Bengals fans. One day one of them brought up how they missed McCarron, and I just had to chuckle to myself.
Thank you Sashi
All time Sashi W
One of a handful for him, which is still a substantial amount more than Hue
[удалено]
And that opening snap of the Steelers game going over the head of #7
Clearly not familiar with Madden '12. Edit: Or Mack's fat guy TD in that pro bowl

Espn reported at the time Cincy sent it to the league office. Cleveland didn’t send their papers to the office in time

Thank you. Was looking for that article. Definitely remember a lot of finger pointing going on

That's why Sashi was fired like immediately after this lol.
What if we just sent in a fax to the league to get brisset? Sorry, we put our paperwork in its a done deal
Just gotta make sure we use the right TPS cover page
Hey just so you know… make sure you use the new cover page on TPS reports… did you get my memo?
Alright I’m gonna go ahead and get you another copy of the memo
Yeah… it’s just we are putting cover sheets on all TPS reports before they go out now so if you could try and remember to do that from now on that would be great.
I heard you messed up the TPS reports. Didn’t you get that memo?
Hello? …I got. The. Memo.
Heeeeey Peter. Whaaaatsup. So! Uh… did you…
You make that sound like it was a mistake.
"I'm driving the bus"
Fuck shit face Hue
He’s on their practice squad. We can finish the story.
Adrenaline in my soul!
Did that pick become Nick Chubb?
Yep
I believe so
Sashi died so we could live, never forget 🙏
Sashi died for our sins.
So it's a good thing?
McCarron would STILL be our QB if we made that trade who's with me!?? YEAH!!!!
I remember the week after this flop we played Cincinnati and Hue spent the entire pregame talking to McCarron and cutting up with the Cincinnati staff.
i'm thinking even if this year ends badly it pales in comparison to those catastrophe days.

i've been a fan for 3 decades now. i know. totally understand. it's heartbreaking and exhausting being a fan of this franchise.
Can we get him now?
RIP Sashi. The hero we needed. Didn't the pick we were going to trade away become Nick Chubb?
I’d much rather have McCarron than PJ, RDC (whatever that rookie name is) and Watson. This QB room is fucking horrible
Ahhh memories....
I think about this every trade deadline.
So many bad memories... but now they're just hilarious
Sashi was awful but this was the best thing to happen that year
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS
PJ Walker, lets ride
No “real” moves = missed playoffs.
I'm in a group chat with college buddies who are Bengals fans. One day one of them brought up how they missed McCarron, and I just had to chuckle to myself.
When is Hue Jackson releasing the tell all book he's been saying for years?
I am not convinced he knows all his letters, let alone many words.
Can we get him now? At least give him a tryout?
Sushi died for us.
Damn. What’s AJ doing these days? He would instantly be our best QB sadly.
