Ross Tucker Says We're Likely Signing McCarron


Recommended Posts

It’s very impressive what Beane has done. 

 

I hope we can sign McCarron to a 3 year deal for low end starter/high end backup money. Play him in ‘18 and Darnold (or whomever we draft) in ‘19. 

 

AJ gets a chance to start for a year. He plays great, super tradeable asset. If not, he’s a capable backup.

It's the only thing that makes sense now--they're his only chance to start, and he has no leverage, so Buffalo will get him cheap 

If 2 years and sub-20m total I’d be pretty comfortable with him and a rookie battling for an opportunity. Not a dream come true but top pick plus a vet with upside is what you hope for in our situation

Would be interesting pickup.. considering our OC’s connection to Alabama.  As short as his tenure was, I’m wondering if Coach Saban impressed Brian Dabol with McCarron’s potential to be a great QB.  Take a look at the article.. looks like AJ fits the ‘process’ profile

I think the plan is start the rookie right away. They must feel good about whoever they're trading up for. So they let the QB market figure itself out and they'll take whatever's left. Not a bad plan to save cap space.
