Word was they turned down a 1st from Minnesota because there was no backup plan to losing McCarron. That's why we mysteriously picked up a Driskel and kept him on the roster all year to make sure this didn't happen again if the opportunity presented itself (they never carried a 3rd qb under Dalton).
Worth keeping an eye on the next couple days.
Teams have back-ups that have actually won NFL games. That have actually been starting NFL QB's. There are Top Picks and Pro Bowlers looking for a chance to lead a team again. There are many, many back-up QB's. Even if by some remote chance a team might consider McCarron, certainly he is not worth a #1 draft pick. Yes, if anybody offers Bengals a # 1 draft pick for McCarron, or Peerman, or one of our 3 field goal kickers in camp, yes, you take the # 1 Draft Pick. .........but if a team has to replace a starting QB, I do not see the owner or coach even considering McCarron ........What McCarron did replacing Dalton was not impressive. Many other back-ups have a better resume of leading NFL teams to victory.
