If you're the Browns, would you rather draft Mahomes, Tribusky, Watson, Webb, Kizer; or trade a pick for AJ McCarron who has one year left?
Same with the other QB needy teams, which actually aren't as many as people believe.

Browns need a QB, 49ers need a QB, Texans need a QB, Jets may need a QB (no idea what they want to do), Chargers and Cardinals need a QB for the future. Sure, there's other wildcards, but there's no real desperation at QB this year.
Plus, if you miss out on a QB, you still have players like Cutler and Kaepernick who are free agents.

I honestly don't see McCarron going anywhere this year. I'd like to trade him, but I honestly don't think it'll happen.

No doubt it comes down to value on behalf of both teams.
Acquiring team - is AJM their 2017 starting QB and possible franchise QB?

Bengals - Who do we replace a solid back up with and how much will he cost us to have a guy we know can step in and win if AD goes down.

I know most fans don't care about economics and think that is a MB only issue, but with cap constraints to me it is huge to have a Back up making only 700 K a year or so as a 3 million dollar back up means one or 2 better quality back ups at other positions
