AJ McCarron News
The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Wednesday that they released quarterback AJ McCarron. The Bengals signed McCarron back in November for more quarterback depth after starter Joe Burrow (wrist) was lost for the season. The 33-year-old veteran signal-caller appeared in two contests for Cincinnati in relief of Jake Browning down the stretch and went 4-for-5 for 19 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He'll be searching for a new team to play for this offseason. The former fifth-round selection of the Bengals in 2014 out of Alabama has a 63.1 career completion percentage with 1,192 passing yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions in his seven years in the NFL with Cincy, the Houston Texans and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Joe Burrow (wrist) was officially placed on the injured reserve list, so the team made the move to fill the void on the depth chart. McCarron, who has bounced around the league since being drafted in 2014, hasn't been relevant for fantasy managers. That won't change with his most recent promotion, considering Jake Browning will start moving forward.
Among the quarterbacks working out for the New York Giants on Tuesday is AJ McCarron, according to sources. McCarron was with the Buffalo Bills in 2018, so he has a connection to head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen. Although there's optimism that Daniel Jones (ankle) can play in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers in London, the Giants have to make backup plans with backup Tyrod Taylor in the concussion protocol. If neither Jones nor Taylor are cleared to play this weekend, there's a chance that McCarron could start against Green Bay if the Giants end up signing him off the street. The 32-year-old is fully recovered from a torn ACL that ended his 2021 season prematurely.
