No more AJM to Vikings talk

McCarron would be essentially peanuts this year, but would likely have a Kirk Cousins-type scenario if he were traded and played well next season, where he could command a typical $17 million per year type of deal.

I wouldn't let McCarron go next year for anything less than a first rounder AND a sweetener.  I feel bad for the Vikes that they had to do this and I am not a big fan of Kazoo. 

McCarron is under contract for two more years, both '16 and '17. Both significantly cheaper than Bradford. If anything, if McCarron played well for the Vikings and Bridgewater comes back 100% for '17, then they could retrade McCarron and recoup their value. Possibly get more depending on how well he played.

Hopefully we don't find out later the Bengals were offered ridiculous amounts and refused to talk to anyone. It'd be Akili Smith/Ricky Williams all over again.
