I believe we will trade him. He has one year left on his contract and will not come back here as a backup.
And I think we got extremely lucky with the timing of this because this is the worst draft for college QBs that I have seen in many many years. Some people are claiming that there will not be a single QB with a first round rating.
If Garoppolo is put on the trade market it could affect McCarron's value, but based on history of trades for back ups (Schaub, Kolb,Feeley) we should get at least a second for Mccarron. And the second round pick from a team needing a QB (Jets, Niners, Browns) would be in the top 40. That is almost like getting a first round pick.
They will manufacture QB's to have a 1st round grade like they did with EJ Manuel. Deshaun already has a high 1st round grade from most services and Mitch Trabisky appears to be this years pre draft riser. I agree though the market is in need of talent, but as I said one year of control doesn't help the value.
