In fact, I read that this is what made McCarron so valuable. The 49ers have to hit Jimmy G with the franchise tag or sign him to a good deal if they like what they see this year. McCarron had the rest of this year as well as (possibly) next year on a cheap rookie deal. That's what made him a slightly better value than Jimmy.

2. I would throw the 2nd round tender on him if he becomes a FA. A 1st would all but guarantee no one touches him, but I think (hope) the Browns will still be interested enough to part with a 2nd.

Why even slap a second round tender on him? Its basically worthless. Wouldn't help the team at all and would probably be just another bust...
