McCarron will likely serve as the top backup to Andy Dalton in 2015, according to the Bengals' official website. McCarron dealt with a shoulder injury for much of his rookie season, but it didn't make much of a difference, as the Bengals had Jason Campbell to serve as Andy Dalton's top backup. While Campbell remains unsigned, the Bengals' website suggests the organization won't do much more spending this offseason, which is interesting to hear for a team with such a favorable cap situation. It's thus hard to tell whether McCarron's ascension to the top backup role would be the result of confidence in his abilities or a desire to save money. Either way, Dalton is the unquestioned starter and has yet to miss a game through four seasons.
