Agreed. I HIGHLY doubt we were interested in paying 8 mil this year and 12 mil every year after that AND give up premium draft picks for a guy who can't stay healthy and would essentially move Singletary to the bench most of the time, coming off the best he's ever looked. Maybe called. Made a small offer, looked to see if McCaffrey would rework his deal, and when those didn't come to be, neither side was interested. Always assumed they'd look at a guy who could provide more in the receiving game, was a better blocker, and more clutch on 3rd downs when they needed to give Singletary a breather. And that's exactly what they did. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 All depends on what Beane was willing to give up. To take on that contract it would have to have been a very low draft pick. Maybe even just a swap of picks. We give a 4th and get back a 6th and McCaffrey. The injuries and the contract would have made it a bad deal. Whoever said no, Carolina or Beane, thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel like he's overpaid, fine. But "broken down"? "Finished"? I think that's a bunch of nonsense. He's 25 years old and there are no indications that any of the injuries he has suffered are likely to be in any way career threatening. The exaggeration of his demise by some on this forum is comical. I mostly agree with this but also... 2 hours ago, buffblue said: He was never a workhorse player at Stanford and was not projected to be in the pros, but the Panthers gave him almost 1000 touches his first 3 years. Now he's played a total of 10 games the last 2 years. I would stay far away from him, even if his contract wasn't so egregious. Yes, there's little doubt that McCaffrey was unwisely overused by Carolina. IF he was available at THE RIGHT PRICE and IF he would be open to renegotiating his contract, THEN I could see a team taking him on and using him more wisely and efficiently than the Panthers did... kind of like how the Bills plan on using McKittrick... as a hybrid passing down back/slot receiver.

Estro Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Be careful with Adam Caplan. There guys in the media that are passing on real knowledge Then there's a Lotta guys that are wannabes. Caplan is closer to the latter. Not saying he didn't hear it, but hes not a guy I'd put a lot of trust in 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, there's no need for Carolina to keep him. They have nothing else Or, since the Texans had to approve a trade package prior to giving permission for the Panthers (and all teams) to then speak to Watson: -They promised Watson that CmC would be his running back if he came to them, or maybe -They promised to include CmC in the trade package to the Texans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
