What do we deserve for AJ McCarron?

It looks like the Cardinals are going to give the Arians/Fitzgerald/Palmer triad one more season and then go into a bit of a rebuild so I'd wager they take a developmental QB pick in the draft rather than trade for a QB.  I could see Palmer and Arians retiring due to health issues after 2017 and Fitzgerald has already said he doesn't plan on sticking around for another QB carousel like the one between Warner and Palmer.

I'm thinking Jets or Browns could want McCarron, but I still think we keep him because Brown can't trade a guy unless he's 100% worthless to us.  Perhaps I'm just being negative.
