AJ McCarron just can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to landing a starting job in the NFL, even though his play shows he deserves one.
Today it was learned the Buffalo Bills traded McCarron to the Oakland Raiders for a 2019 fifth round pick. This puts McCarron in line for the bench yet again as the season is about to start and he hasn’t even seen the playbook yet and two quarterbacks in Oakland have been fighting it out for the starting job all preseason. Derek Carr has been both looking good and will be one taking snaps on opening day for the Raiders, not McCarron who looked like he had a great shot to land the starting job in Buffalo from his good play in preseason including his recent win against Chicago.
