AJ McCarron- Could He Be Traded In Offseason?

[Whatever]

That's what I don't understand because everyone is acting like this will break the Browns season when they're dog shit anyways.

With knowing that they won't be doing anything this year anyways, so McCarron was for the future, is it possible that he gets traded in the offseason?

He'll be 28 in September, but not a lot of wear-and-tear on him, and Hue is familiar with him, so will Hue pull the trigger over drafting a franchise QB who could be a bust?

Around The Horn and everywhere is bashing the Browns for botching this trade, so it's good to know that we didn't screw it up.

Hue isn't going to be around next year in Cleveland if the Browns don't win some games.  Even if they could somehow manage to split their last 8 games, a HC who is 5-27 over 2 years is tough to sell a fan base on giving a third year.  Still, the McCarron deal was probably the last glimmer of hope Hue had of saving his job.  He'll be fired at season's end, and no way he gets another NFL HC job.  I mean, when the Raiders fired him, he couldn't even land a coordinator job.  He crawled back here as a position coach.  

It's still possible McCarron gets traded this off-season, but it won't be to Cleveland and it won't be for what Cleveland was going to give us.  If it does, it's probably because the Bengals cleaned house on the coaching staff and the new HC wants more picks to bring in guys that fit his system.
