Kirk Cousins- Biggest free agent out there will be expensive
Jimmy G- Franchise tag Which means the 49ers wouldn't be interested in McCarron.
Case Keenum- Franchise Tag I doubt they'll want to pay Keenum $23.3m
Sam Bradford- top Backup money bridge starter to do injury history You are underestimating Bradford's market. He had a 101.1 QB Rating with the Vikings in 17 starts. He will be a starter somewhere.
Josh Mckown- Back up/ Bridge starter maybe Probably a bridge starter for one of the draft picks.
Alex Smith- 1st and 3rd I think he goes for less than a 1st and 3rd. He has only 1 year left on his contract.
Tyrod Taylor- Backup/ Fringe starter In an NFL where Mike Glennon got $15m/yr, someone will trade for Tyrod. Don't forget the Bills team around him was really really bad.
Jacoby- he has two years left on contract staying put unless great deal happens. That's why I said maybe and threw a question mark.

I also forgot to mention that Teddy Bridgewater will be in FA, too.

The point is, between the FA class, the couple guys on the trading block, and the impending draft class, there's really not going to be a ton of openings left, which means the market for McCarron (again assuming he gets RFA status) won't likely be all that hot. The Bengals are going to tender him at least a 2nd, and whoever signs him will still need to offer him a big contract. Other guys could be had for just the pick, or just the contract, so having to spend both for a guy who isn't proven probably isn't the most appealing of options.
