Fantasy Impact
McCarron, who filed a grievance against the team during his rookie season after the Bengals placed him on the non-football injury list (NFI) following a shoulder injury that occurred away from the team and kept him out for all but two games in 2014 which would have made him a restricted free agent this offseason, has won his grievance and will instead become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins on March 14. As a result, McCarron will reach the open free agent market and is free to sign with a new club without restrictions. Expect teams like the Jets, Browns, and Cardinals to be in heavy pursuit of the four-year veteran once free agency kicks off in a month.
