Both are going to want starting money. After that, I don't know. Weeden and Gradkowski maybe? And they're going to cost well above what AJM is making.
McCarron proved he can manage a game. And for two years, he can do it cheaply in the event of an emergency. I'd rather have that than another question mark.
I'd take the risk of getting a 2nd round pick, or better, and using that on someone who will play on the field more than AJ will. If you have a backup who feels like he can be a legit starter, then there's no chance he re-signs when his rookie deal is up. At that point, you have to hope someone gives him a huge deal just to get a 3rd round comp pick, but he'll most likely sign a deal that nets us a 5th rounder or later.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
