Landing Spots for AJ McCarron Includes Two Teams Primed to Make a Super Bowl Run

Landing Spots for AJ McCarron Includes Two Teams Primed to Make a Super Bowl Run

Former Alabama Crimson Tide and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron is a free man after an, "independent arbitrator ruled that the 27-year-old won his grievance against the Bengals regarding their decision to place him on the non-football injury list at the start of 2014."

QB AJ McCarron is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason… Where will he play in 2018? (via @rapsheet) Frank Victores/AP

Now that McCarron is slated to become a free agent when the new NFL year kicks off on March 14 at 4 PM ET, where will the 27-year-old QB land?

Cleveland Browns

Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Browns need a quarterback.

McCarron certainly knows the AFC Central well, and maybe there's a chance he'd like to stick it to the Bengals even though he claimed there's no hard feelings for his former team.

Then again, does he really want to play for an inept franchise that won a total of zero games last year?

Buffalo Bills

If you suffered through the AFC Wild Card "battle" between Buffalo and Jacksonville in January, you know how desperate the Bills are for talent behind center. 

The sample size for McCarron is small, but he did complete 66.4% of his passes in 7 appearances in 2015 while throwing for 6 touchdowns against 2 picks. His 2015 completion percentage is nearly 5% higher than that of Tyrod Taylor's entire career.

Denver Broncos

The Broncos are a team primed to win right now.

The squad finished the 2017 campaign third in yards given up per game at just 290, but they were ranked only 22nd in points allowed at 23.9.

Why?

The team finished the year with a plus-minus of -17 thanks to 22 interceptions and 12 fumbles on offense. The only team that finished below the Broncos in this stat were the winless Browns.

Even if McCarron is brought in to merely steer the ship, the defense could take care of the rest.

Arizona Cardinals

If there's one thing the Cardinals won't be lacking on offense in 2018, it's weapons at the skilled positions.

Future Hall of Fame wideout Larry Fitzgerald has announced he's returning for another season, and a healthy David Johnson will be motived after a 2017 lost to injury.

[divider]

Minnesota Vikings

This might be the most intriguing landing spot of them all.

The Vikings were one awful performance away from reaching the Super Bowl last year, and McCarron would be surrounded by a healthy Dalvin Cook in the backfield and studs Kyle Rudolph, Stefon Diggs, and Adam Thielen streaking down the field.
