With news breaking Thursday that A.J. McCarron won his grievance to become a free agent, many started to connect the dots between him and the Cleveland Browns. That’s logical considering McCarron was traded from the Cincinnati Bengals to Cleveland at the trade deadline. That trade fell through thanks to some paperwork errors, but in the end it could save the Browns a second round pick if they lure him in via free agency.
While head coach Hue Jackson — who worked with McCarron while he was the offensive coordinator in Cincinnati — may be all to excited to get him, it may be harder than they thought.
