Bengals Release AJ McCarron

Wednesday, February 14, 2:08 PM

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.

Jacoby Brissett News

Jacoby Brissett Has Upside For Two-QB Leagues

Saturday, September 12, 5:41 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is returning to helm the team's offense after signing a one-year, $15.5 million contract in the offseason. Brissett succeeded Kyler Murray as Arizona's starting quarterback after Murray's season was ended by a severe foot sprain in Week 5. In 12 starts, Brissett threw for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, and averaged 40.3 pass attempts per game. His production made him the QB7 measured by fantasy points per game. To kick off 2026, Brissett will face a challenging Chargers defense. With rookie running back Jeremiyah Love questionable and the Cardinals likely to be playing from behind, Arizona may be forced into a pass-heavy script. He will be a risky start in single-quarterback leagues but is a good play in two-QB or superflex leagues based on his potential volume.
