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.
Drew Brees - Staying in New Orleans
Kirk Cousins- Biggest free agent out there will be expensive
Jimmy G- Franchise tag
Case Keenum- Franchise Tag
Sam Bradford- top Backup money bridge starter to do injury history
Josh Mckown- Back up/ Bridge starter maybe
Alex Smith- 1st and 3rd
Tyrod Taylor- Backup/ Fringe starter
Jacoby- he has two years left on contract staying put unless great deal happens.
