I'm not too hot on Garrett.  I'd much rather have Allen.  If we go edge rusher, I want Tim Williams.

Is McCarron a "franchise" QB?

He beat Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Mallet.

Also, he's going to be 27 in September. And you get 2 years with him. Maybe. He could go the "Need guaranteed money" route.

Deshaun Watson will be 22 in September.
Kizer will be 21 until January 6th on 2018.
Trubisky will be 23.

And they will all have longer contracts.

Sure. McCarron may have more experience, but not much. And coming out of college, they're all better prospects than him.

So the Bears would want more than to switch and a possible QB.
