He's got a team here who'll honor the contracts they sign players to unlike some teams that don't.  McC has a family to look after.  I'm sure he'd love to be a starter, but I'd wager he'd much rather have a steady paycheck regardless of whether he's the starter or not.
If the Bengals made even 1/10th of the proposed trades of this board they wouldn't have a team left at the end of the season.

Um, what?  Extend his contract?  For how much exactly?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's going to get a steady contract regardless.  You make it sound as if simply offering him a steady paycheck is some type of grand gesture.  The guy is going to not only want to get paid, but to play as well.

Look at Brock Osweiler.  Similar to McCarron he only started a few games last year (7).  Same exact age (both are 25).  He had an 86 QB rating (Fwiw, AJ had a 97).  He just signed a 4 year, 72 million dollar deal.  37 million is guaranteed.

So are you calling for us to pay McCarron over 60 million to be our backup?  Or are you insinuating that a guaranteed 4 years 20 million here or somehow more valuable than 4 years 75 million elsewhere?

I'm sorry, but this make absolutely no sense. 

McCarron is as good as gone, unless they decide to move on from Andy.  So take your pick.
