Doc Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) If the Panthers are entertaining this in order to get more draft picks for Watson, it would make more sense to include McCaffrey in a trade with the 8th overall and a 1st rounder next year.

The Bills got the 28th pick and a 4th rounder for an All Pro LT in Jason Peters...........the 30th pick is a lot of value for ANY running back. The reason why the availability of an All Pro RB versus just some dude off the practice squad doesn't move Vegas lines is because run plays average so little yardage/scoring versus passing the ball. The difference between an average RB(4.2 npc) and a guy who gives you 5.0 ypc like peak McCaffrey is a lot less than the chasm between that 5.0 and the near 8.0 yards you get per pass attempt with a top QB. The real value of McCaffrey is in the passing game but he's basically a slot receiver and the Bills already have a pretty good one at the moment in Beasley. The upside is that his cap hit wouldn't be too onerous as a receiver after Carolina eats the signing bonus money and he could basically replace Beasley in 2022 and allow the Bills to use more 12 personnel or bigger receivers(which might be good in late season weather) etc.. Any time you pay a RB good money it's robbing Peter to pay Paul in some way though. It never works out..........but I understand why it's tempting. 15 minutes ago, Doc said: If the Panthers are entertaining this in order to get more draft picks for Watson, it would make more sense to include McCaffrey in a trade with the 8th overall and a 1st rounder next year. Why does a rebuilding team with cap issues want an $8M+ mid-career RB coming off a season lost to injury? I can't see them wanting ANY players already on a second contract in return in trade. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I would trade this year and next years 1st for him. He's that good. Also, we are likely to be picking at 32 next year if we get him this year. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injuries last year are kind of worrying tbh. I had a bad ankle sprain almost 20 years ago and I can still feel it sometimes. Granted, I'm not an elite athlete but those injuries are amplified for guys who weigh well over 200 pounds. He is proven and would defiantly take us to the next level I believe but I agree with you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 When I see articles like this or hear rumors/speculation I just remind myself what Beane and McDermott are really like with the media. They don't say anything of importance. I laugh when I here their press conferences with the media. Its blah blah get better blah blah have to do well in the draft and FA blah blah we will look at every opportunity to improve the team blah blah. We won't know a damn thing until it happens. Beane and McDermott keep a tighter lid on things then the FBI. Actually every team does except teams that have had Rex Ryan as their HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Spartacus Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 the Panthers are not going to let McCaffrey go. He is going to be one of the drawing cards for Watson to come there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Houston want to take on his salary though? Especially with Caserio having that Patriots background where RB by committee is the norm. There's no way in hell Beane would pay a running back that much. Yet alone trade a first rounder for one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBills1998 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 No thank you, we already had one overpaid RB we don’t need to go down that route again. Plus He has an injury problem along with a bloated contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRiderBills Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/christian-mccaffrey-21749/ Huge dead cap hit for Carolina if he's dealt. I dont see the value for Carolina to trade him. Not seeing a viable way to get er done. I think folks just went a bit wild w speculation. Yes, if a trade did happen....8 million per year for next 2 seasons then jumps up. I'd do the deal for 30 overrall in a heartbeat, but with that dead cap figure it would take more.

For the love of God the kid is ONLY 24. He had like 2400 yards in 2019. If you could work out a reasonable contract I'd love to see him come here. Teams could no longer drop 7 in coverage. Allen, Diggs and McCaffrey would be the Holy Trinity. Edited February 24, 2021 by LABILLBACKER 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
