Alabama Football: Oakland Raiders have traded for former Bama QB AJ McCarron

According to NFL.com’s Ian Rappaport, former Alabama football quarterback AJ McCarron has just been traded, and will no longer be a part of the Buffalo Bills. After sustaining an injury during week two of this year’s NFL preseason, McCarron played very well in last week’s come from behind win. Apparently, it was too little too late. AJ will now head to Oakland, California to serve as primary backup to David Carr, where he will be reunited with former Alabama teammate Amari Cooper. This should be a welcomed event by Raiders fans as McCarron has shown he is more than capable of playing QB in the NFL.
