Looking back at the "big rumor", the one about the Bengals dealing him to the Jets for Richardson. I'm happy that deal fell through, never was, etc. Richardson for sure would have been a one year "rental", one coming off of injury at that. If the Bengals deal him, I see it being an in-draft trade type of scenario. Hopefully to gain good picks for next year's draft, as they already have 11 this year.
And, if a great trade doesn't happen, no big deal. McCarron is a great insurance policy to have in the hip pocket.
I would have hated the Jets trade. I agree that we are kinda sitting pretty at the QB position right now, a lot better than most teams. I don't see MB rushing to trade AJ unless he gets exactly what he wants. Which is why I think there may have been some offers that us fans would take in a heart beat. I would like to get a couple picks for him and I think there will be a draft day trade if some teams board went to shit and start to panic. But at the same time we have a horrible line and a window closing fast. It's a nice luxury to know this kid can come in and the season isn't a total waste.
As far as the trade offer by the OP, we can trade back on our own and get an extra 2nd round pick. Of course it won't be the 32nd pick and there's no guarantee a team would be willing. I just don't think it's worth it.
