Former XFL MVP AJ McCarron will rejoin the St. Louis Battlehawks after getting released by Bengals
AJ McCarron has a new home just a few days after being released by the Cincinnati Bengals.
The reigning XFL MVP McCarron was signed this past offseason to give the Bengals depth at the position following Joe Burrow’s season-ending wrist injury. Well, the XFL MVP is returning home to St. Louis!!!!
He won the league’s MVP award after completing nearly 69% of his passes with 24 touchdowns against just six interceptions.
McCarron has signed with the St. Louis Battlehawks, the team announced Friday. The Battlehawks played in the XFL last season and will be part of the UFL’s inaugural season.
McCarron briefly saw action in two games last season. He completed his only attempt in Cincinnati’s Week 14 win over the Colts and went 3 of 4 in the Bengals’ win over the Browns in Week 18.
