No, we don't know what the demands are or what's been offered (although Jim O says no offers have been made, and he knows more than you or I)...but it'd be completely foolish to think it's anywhere near what Palmer got in return.
McCarron only makes that reasonable salary for 2017. That's not enough to raise his value higher than a proven franchise QB.
I'll stick to dealing with what has actually been said in public statements, what was actually done on the field.
You can peddle your fantasy stories all you want.
