AJ McCarron

[oldunclemark]

The Bengals backup QB has completed 3 years of a 4 years contract..

..but reading Bengal web sites, there appears to be the thought that he will be traded this off-season.

They aren't 'moving on' from Andy Dalton...and McCarron reportedly would like a chance to pay and get paid

He's played in only 7 games

 

Does anyone think he's a starting QB for a team (I'm talking about you, Bears!!!) that needs one?

The problem is, it is the Bengals, they want to fleece you in a trade, and AJ is going to have to wait it out and have some team take a chance on him for a 2 year contract after next season. His trade value was highest last year when he filled in for Dalton and showed something. If the Bengals are willing to give him for a 5th rounder, some team will take a chance on him. If they want more, it is not going to happen.

I honestly don't think he's a bad player and would be an upgrade on a team with a bad QB but good defense.  He should have won that playoff game last year vs the Steelers.

Don't like him. He stole my waifu.

I think he is a good QB and would be a starter on any of the teams that need a quarterback right now.

If he is worth trading for.  You would think Hue Jackson and the Brown's would make an attempt.   Hue knows him better than any other HC

That makes sense....

The only obvious problem would be the Bengals trading McCarron to a division rival.

 

Does it make more sense to trade for somebody else's backup who has seldom played but has been in the NFL 3 or 4 years or to draft a QB No.1  and own him for 5 years at low cost.

Hard to know

I honestly thought AJ would stink in the Pro's. I figured he was the typical Bama QB with the great looking GF and wouldn't even make it in the NFL. I was wrong. I still don't think is he all that but as a backup QB he would be decent IMO. He could start for the Browns but that team is a mess so I doubt he could do anything with them.

He's got to go somewhere....this year or next...To sign again with the Bengals is to resign as the backup..

........Can the Browns afford to give up their No,.1 choice, even for a new QB

I wouldn't do it for the 1st overall pick.

I agree./....    It would have to be the 1st pick in the 2nd round

A QB needy team will likely take a flyer on him in FA and see what he has.  But I'm guessing he will have to wait.

I don`t know much about AJ McCarron, but the QB I would keep an eye on is Mike Glennon FA from the Bucs. He had a good rookie year on a bad team. Then they drafted Winston the next year. He may very well turn out to be a decent starter for someone.
