beare Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 According to the Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Dehner, trading A.J. McCarron is "a part of the offseason itinerary" for the Bengals. could it be possible hue would want bring him to cleveland also wonder what it would take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I wouldn't be devastated if it happened for, say a fourth round pick. He has a year left on his contract and, what, three starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Someone around the leaguevthough is gonna overreach and give the bengals more than he's worth. Bengals wont part with him for a 4th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 He is backup quality imo. If he was that good, he would have beaten out the somewhat mediocre Andy Dalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 AJ was my 2014 dark horse QB, so I'm biased. He did look good subbing for Andy in 2015. Showed the same "game manager" potential that he did at BAMA. All that said... I'll go with Hue on this one as he saw AJ up close for two years.

Bob806 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 No no no no and no. Kessler is AJ McCarron- capable as a game manager. If they want to make a splash at QB, get a big, sturdy guy like Trubisky or that Allen kid from Wyoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Buffalo Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Bull & Fox were talking about Taylor today, they said that he's going to ask for major bucks $$$. Give it to him... for 2-3 seasons. It's not like we can't afford to pay someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Dawg Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Give it to him... for 2-3 seasons. It's not like we can't afford to pay someone. If the Browns are going to take a FA QB, Taylor would be at the top of my list. Unfortunately, I don't see cheapskate Jimmah paying the $15-17 million a year asking price.

Mudfly Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Taylor is under contract right now.....he's due 12m in '17 and 13m in 18'.....which is reasonable.......but we'd have to trade for him to get him at that price...... which I think would be easy....as Buff is getting ready to just release him anyway... So...if released, then we gotta negotiate.....but if we throw something at Buff, they just might bite and take "something" over nothing.......

jcam222 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I fee like they will go after McCarron, Taylor or similar for 2018. Open competition with Kessler to start. The real QB plan is to draft one in 2018. In order to do that and not tank another season it's going to mean manipulation our picks to secure an extra 2018 1st.

jrb12711 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'd take bridgewater in general but it depends on his recovery. If he misses most of camp then it isn't worth it. Bridgewater made it abundantly clear he didn't want to play here during the draft. We don't need gimpy here if he never wanted to be here in the 1st place. I'm definitely warming up to A.J. though. Very credible reports are coming that he will be actively available and he looked pretty solid there in relief of Dalton. I also like (just like Jimmy G.) that's he's got a year left on his contract so if he doesn't pan out we wouldn't end up in an Osweiler situation. This also gives the Browns A LOT of flexibility in the draft which I greatly am in favor for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'd rather Jimmy than AJ. To be honest, if the bengals think he has *anything* close to NFL ability, they wouldn't trade him within the division, and especially to his former OC.

"Vikings quarterback Teddy Twatwater, who's up for Pepsi Rookie of the Year, didn't want to play for the Browns in part because he knew that not everyone in the organization was on board with drafting him, a league source told Northeast Ohio Media Group" That sounds more like the kid didn't want a team to be wishy washy about drafting him. If he ended up as a free agent or the Vikes would be willing to trade him for a mid rounder, I wouldn't hate if the Browns bit on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicIsForSquares Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Is Bridgewater on the block in Minnesota? Zimmer said that Bradford is the likely starter next year and thus Bridgewater will be the backup. Opens the door for the Vikes possibly wanting to move him.

Opens the door for the Vikes possibly wanting to move him. He's cheap - rookie contract - but also going into his last year of it I think, same draft as Bortles, Carr, Garoppolo, McCarron etc. He's also shown the ability to play in this league, so essentially they have two potential franchise QBs. If the price is right, I'm all on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
