re: Who wants to sign McCarron??

if the Browns weren't the Browns I'd be more excited. Solid defense and two top 5 picks - could potentially trade back the #1 for top 10 and another 1 and some other picks if they don't need a qb.

Browns decide on Tyrod Taylor.

This is shocking! I guess this tells us the Browns have a qb in the draft they like enough to take 1st overall. Tyrod is the definition of a bridge qb.

Same but if they had enough confidence in AJ to not spend a top 5 pick on a QB he could have been setup for success imo.

...Does the trade of Taylor turn Buffalo into a likely landing spot for McCarron?

It already might have been. The Bills seemed to be on every list made of teams looking for a new quarterback this offseason.

But the Bills are in position now to dive into the quarterback-draft pool, too. Buffalo has two selections in each of the first three rounds of April's draft. And while the Bills' first pick isn't until No. 21, they have the draft stockpile to move up.

McCarron -- and every other player with an expiring contract -- will become a free agent at 3 p.m. CDT Wednesday, when the NFL's 2018 business year begins.

As an unrestricted free agent, the former Alabama All-American will be able to sign with any team that offers a contract. The teams that seem most in need of a new quarterback include the Bills, Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets.

Which teams could be AJ McCarron's suitors in free agency?

McCarron won't be the only free-agent quarterback available next week. Cousins, Case Keenum, Sam Bradford, Teddy Bridgewater, Josh McCown, Geno Smith and Mike Glennon will be, too, and all have NFL starting experience. Drew Brees also will be a free agent, but he's expected to stay with the Saints after 12 seasons in New Orleans...

Broncos will only sign AJ as a desperation move. They are convinced they have a rapidly closing championship window and want a proven QB.

Would suck to go to the Browns but it may be his only starting opportunity

Arizona would be best case scenario for AJ at this point.

Sucks for AJ. La Canforna is saying the Jets are looking at McCown and Bridgewater. If the Cardinals can afford Bradford you would have to go with him over AJ. Anybody know what other options he has if the Jets and Cardinals come off the table? Starting to look like he will not be starting this year, which is sad.

Based on what you said it looks like he is pretty screwed. If you are looking for a bridge QB, 900 year old McCown is likely a better option for you. This is crazy especially since this is also one of the deepest QB drafts ever. Allen, Rosen, and Darnold would be the first 3 (at least top 5) picks most years. And that still would leave you Jackson, Mayfield, and Rudolph. Makes me wish he would have lost his grievance and was on the market next year. Sheesh, this stuff is crazy at times.

True, but I think that conversation goes something like, "I questioned his judgement when I saw his chest tattoo, but dat wife doe."
