Foles vs McCarron

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Bengals held onto McCarron so long that even if he does get RFA status, he'll be worth significantly less.

FAs:
Drew Brees
Jimmy Garoppolo
Kirk Cousins
Case Keenum
Sam Bradford
Josh McCown

Trading Block:
Alex Smith
Tyrod Taylor
Jacoby Brissett maybe? (When Luck is back.)

None of those guys probably cost you a 1st or 2nd round pick like the Bengals apparently wanted for McCarron. (On top of the big contract they'd have to offer him to sign him away as a RFA.)

Then you throw in the draft and how there will be probably like 3-4 guys taken in the first round, and there's honestly not going to be much of a market left for McCarron.
