Bengals turned down second-round pick for A.J. McCarron

The Cincinnati Bengals turned down a second-round pick for quarterback A.J. McCarron this offseason, MMQB's Albert Breer reports.

What It Means:

This appears to have been before the Denver Broncos were (erroneously) linked with McCarron this week. Breer thinks it would take "a blow-em-away deal" to make Cincinnati move McCarron, who is still under team control for two years. It sounds like the quarterback will spend at least another season with the Bengals.

On 131 drop backs in 2015, McCarron posted 0.14 Passing Net Expected Points per drop back, the 12th-best mark among the 46 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs that year. He completed 66.4 percent of his 119 pass attempts for 854 yards while throwing 6 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
