BEREA, Ohio -- Browns Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown disputed reports that he sabotaged the AJ McCarron trade with the Bengals because he really didn't want to do the deal.
"That's wholly untrue,'' Brown said Tuesday during a 26-minute midseason press conference. "We were all in there together - Hue (Jackson), myself and a couple other staff members that work on these things at the time we were trying to get the trade done so I'm not worried about that internally. Externally, I can just put it to bed that is just not the case.
