St. Louis Battlehawks Coach Anthony Becht Responds to AJ McCarron Discontent Over Release
Following the St. Louis Battlehawks’ separation from their star quarterback, A.J. McCarron, head coach Anthony Becht has spoken out about his former quarterback’s dissatisfaction with the departure.
Spring pro football’s most beloved team, the St. Louis Battlehawks, and its now former star quarterback are at odds in what has become the most intriguing storyline of the UFL offseason.
It all started a week ago when the St. Louis Battlehawks announced they were going in a different direction for the upcoming 2025 season, releasing A.J. McCarron’s player rights.
On the surface, the departure seemed to be amicable and a mutual decision. The Battlehawks went out of their way to thank McCarron for his contributions the last two seasons.
McCarron, who openly criticized last year’s merger between the XFL and USFL, particularly the new structure for players, contemplated not participating in the league. However, he ultimately decided to give spring pro football and St. Louis another chance before last season’s training camp commenced.
The McCready and Siskey Podcast released a preview clip of an interview conducted with the former Alabama signal-caller last Thursday. In it, McCarron spoke strongly about his negative experience in the UFL.
