Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe McCarron is in his last year but the Bengals have a 1-year option?  If this is the case no way I trade him this year (well never say never!).  He is the best back-up QB in the NFL and we all know how hard it is for a QB to stay upright for a whole season.  We've been lucky 4 out of 5 years with AD.

I'm sure there will be big-time offers on the table, especially as starters go down around the league.  If it's early in the year some teams may be desperate (like the Raider's were when we traded Palmer).  It will be difficult for the Bengals to hold onto McCarron if other teams start throwing out outrageous offers.

It'll be interesting...
