A.J. McCarron Leaves Bengals for UFL's St. Louis Battlehawks

Former Alabama star and NFL quarterback A.J. McCarron requests release from Cincinnati Bengals to rejoin UFL, where he was previously named MVP.

A.J. McCarron has requested to be released from the Cincinnati Bengals to re-sign with the UFL's St. Louis Battlehawks, where he previously played and was named MVP.
McCarron's decision to move to the UFL follows a brief return to the NFL with the Bengals, where he played as a backup quarterback after Joe Burrow's season-ending injury.
The UFL's inaugural season begins on March 30, offering McCarron an opportunity to play before potentially returning to the NFL.
McCarron's career includes significant achievements, such as winning three national titles with Alabama and being a Heisman Trophy runner-up.
The Bengals now have only two quarterbacks on their roster, with Jake Browning being the primary backup to Joe Burrow.
