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

That's a big question. Teams have to ask to themselves if they view a guy with only 4 real starts that will be turning 27 in September and has 1 year left on his contract as a franchise QB. At least with a rookie QB, you have them signed for longer. McCarron? Becomes a RFA in 2018. Which has it's benefits and downfalls.

I just don't see him going anywhere in all honesty.
