AJ McCarron- Could He Be Traded In Offseason?
#24
Again, Good chance we still get a 2nd round pick for McCarron.

McCarron is a restricted free agent unless Players Union and McCarrons agent win their appeal and get NFL to take his rookie year off injured status. Since NFL allowed McCarron rookie year to be injured status, the odds are NFL doen't change anything in the next 3 months.

All Bengals have to do is put a 2nd round tender on him. Any team taking McCarron and Bengals get an extra 2nd round pick.

You DO NOT want to franchise tag him at 20 million dollars for the 2018 season. Nobody will trade for him at that price. We would then have way too much money to Dalton and McCarron. FORGET THE FRANCHISE TAG.... AS it is NOW, he is a RESTRICTED free agent. We could put a round one tender on him, but what if no teams want to give up a first round pick, which is very possible. We can also put an original draft slot tender on him and we would get a 5th round pick, which is pretty lousy. The best option is the 2nd round draft pick tender. We already know Browns will give up a 2nd round, and other teams are needing quarterbacks as well due to injuries and old age or just awful like Denvers quarterback.

So odds are we get a second round pick for McCarron. All Bengals have to do is apply 3 million dollars to a second round tender. Of course a team will take McCarron and Bengals will get a second round pick. Mike Brown then puts his 3 million back in the bank because a team topped his tender offer. Mike Brown spends no money in the end and walks away with an extra second round pick anyway.

So Bengals will get a second round for McCarron.

Bengals will get a second round for McCarron.

Bengals will get a second round pick for McCarron.

He is a restricted free agent, so just apply a second round tender on him. Cleveland already showed they will give a 2nd round for him.
