LMAO, so you're giving up Elam, Shakir (5th round, but you get the point), and Moss for an injury prone back that will still be running behind the statistically worst run blocking line in the league?

Yes everyday of the week with the team we have

 

We have a legit shot at the Superbowl, you take that shot 

 

The bills don't run the ball much and use their short passing game as their run game

 

Is CMC not an elite pass catching back?

Still not worth a 1st round pick in any metric. If Carolina does move him, I can guarantee you it ain't for a 1st round pick.  I don't think there's any team in the league right now that's so desperate for a RB, they would be willing to part with a 1st rounder.

 

You are severely undervaluing what a first-round pick actually is.

Trading Singletarry for CMC doesn't make a lot of sense, why would Carolina trade for RB who'd be FA in a year, and why would we trade the RB that works in our offense the best currently.

I believe Dorsey and Co wanted a more dynamic RB in his offense and thought Cook was that guy. Cook’s not ready yet. CMC is that guy

who has a history of injuries and does not warrant 1st round pick compensation.

Was an elite passing back.  We don't know what he is anymore because he's barely on the field.   Singletary is pretty darn good as a receiving back when we utilize him that way, look at the Miami game.

CMC would make this offense the most multi-dimensional, most explosive team since the Greatest Show on Turf.

 

You're basing this assumption off of the one great season McCaffrey has had.  We're only multi-dimensional when he's on the field which isn't very much as of late.  Don't get me wrong, I wouldnt mind trying him out in our offense if we could trade moss and a 4th rd pick at most but I can't imagine a world where Carolina would go for that.   Also McC is gonna want a payday based on his one great season and there's no way the bills are resigning him.

Losing a first hurts but it's a future and if it means an even better shot at a super bowl I would take it and not think twice

 

The bills have probably the best team in football, if I can add someone with the talent of CMC without giving up any contributors to the current team(moss is very replaceable) and only futures. I'm in

Giving up a 1st round pick for an injury prone back isn't happening and I'm sure Beane agrees considering he's all about "value".  Not to mention, we can't afford him.  We are already a projected $7.5M over the cap next year and that's before even signing any of our own big FA's.

Which is why I wouldn't trade singletary in any deal for cmc

 

I'm willing to push everything all in for a shot at the super bowl

 

We will see if beane is too

So cap issues are coming, this might be the bills best shot at a championship, just gives me more reason to take a chance now

Wait, you're willing to put us in cap hell for the CHANCE to win now?  CMC would guarantee nothing and there would still be the possibility we don't win the SB and then are still in cap hell all for nothing AND minus a first round pick.

 

Yeah, umm...No.

According to your post you said the bills are already projected 7.5 million over the cap

 

So aren't cap troubles coming either way? 

 

One way increases the super bowl odds this season the other doesn't do a thing

 

Plus the cap isn't real, look at what the saints and Steelers did for years while rothlesberger and brees played

LMAO, we're projected to be $7.5M over before even signing any of our own FA's and your solution is to add a dude owed almost $12M in base salary next year?  You apparently don't want to re-sign any of our FA's.  That or you're just real bad at math. So who are you cutting to get us under the cap and pay CMC?

Do you actually know cmc's contract details?

 

1 mil this year, the rest going forward non guaranteed. Easy restructure or cut and move on with zero harm to anyone else going forward

I don't know what Carolina would have to gain from taking Motor, but in the hypothetical situation where we get cmc we can't have both him and Singletary next season. 

 

Moss can operate as a starting back with Cook sprinkled in if cmc goes down.

Lol yeah, it's definitely not Ideal but with the injury history it's a way we can still "make it by" in the future without spending additional capital to plan for the event that cmc misses games. 

 

 

Not ideal?  It leaves us in a worse position than we are now and in salary cap hell.

It's the gamble every potential trade partner will weigh. There's no disagreement that I would rather keep motor and unload Moss in this scenario if looking through the lense of 2022 sb or bust. However, next year that would leave us with an injury prone cmc and whomever we could scrounge up (that still admittedly might be better than moss) to go with Cook. 

 

I dunno.

Don't think so.  The opt out and dead cap counts against next year.  If we take on his contract, and the opt out option is triggered, that trigger would be under contract with the Bills, not the Panthers.

All guarantees stay with the team that signed the deal, which is what creates dead cap, they don’t transfer to the bills

Ok, so that's correct.  So as some are suggesting, we should sign a guy for half a season and playoffs and give up a first-round pick for it and then not be able to afford him next year.  Awesome plan.

Wait, you're actually suggesting we give up a first round pick to get him and then cut him next year?  LMAOOOO, So we give up a first-round pick to get a player for half a season and playoffs?  And you do understand that signing him doesn't guarantee us winning anything, correct?  You act like the SB is in the bag if we sign him.

 

I love how the answer from anyone when it comes to signing players with high price tags is always to simply "restructure". Care to explain how that actually works with the team's current and projected cap space next year?

And in the only hypothetical situation that matters right now, winning the SB this season, if Mccaffery gets injured, which is likely….Zack moss would be our starter…..that’s why you would have to keep motor.  Motor has no value to Carolina.  He has loads of value as mccaffery s backup.

So that means not only are we taking On CMC's, contract, we would need to re-sign motor this offseason, which is not going to be anywhere near as cheap as his rookie contract where he's making less than $1M this year. 

 

Up until now, motor's contract has been a GM's best friend.  That ends this year. Spotrac has his market value at $5M/year. If CMC is assumed to be the starter, we would be paying motor $5M a year to come of the bench.

 

I think he walks if that's what he wants $$ wise and he's not even starting.

Up until now, motor's contract has been a GM's best friend.  That ends this year. Spotrac has his market value at $5M/year. If CMC is assumed to be the starter, we would be paying motor a couple $5M a year to come of the bench.

I’m not talking about the future.  I’m talking about THIS season.  Winning the super bowl THIS SEASON.  The main reason we make a trade to for mccaffery to to help us win the super bowl this season.  You’re not taking this season into account…when it’s the only thing that truly matters once you trade for a Mccaffery.  
 

The dude gets hurt a lot. We need a solid insurance policy. Moss is not that.  Same

can be said for Cook from what we’ve seen so far.  
 

of we trade for cmac, we’d be fools to trade motor.  He has no value to Carolina

Even if we sign him, there's no guarantee we win anything. People are even suggesting we give up a 1st rounder to get him. Not to mention, he's due $12M in base salary next season.

 

Sounds like people are ready to sell the team's future and put us into salary cap hell to sign an oft injured RB.

Some people are.  Some people aren’t.  Doesn’t really matter.   I don’t think there’s much chance Beane would part with a 1st or 2nd for him.  Maybe a 3rd.  
 

My only point was, if we trade for him, trading motor in the deal makes zero sense.  For either team.

My only point was signing CMC and keeping motor, makes this off season and trying to re-sign our other FA's on this huge list will make it even more of a nightmare than it's already going to be.

Who cares about this off season?  Motor is likely gone no matter what.  What does trading him accomplish? He can help us win a super bowl THIS year. Or is next years super bowl your focus?

I hear what you are saying, having the insurance policy.  But Devin does make a lot of sense for Carolina.  They still need someone to run the ball this year and Devin comes off the books after the end of the year.  So IF these talks are real in terms of Car wanting Devin and a 2nd, its certainly because they get a solid RB back for this season that won't be on the cap next season.  

 

I still have doubts we trade for CMC anyway, but if we did and included Devin then I would be ok with it.  But like you, for the same reasons, I would prefer to keep Devin for insurance reasons.

So mortgage the future for a maybe.

 

See the two names on the top of our free agent list?  They are more important pieces to this team than CMC will ever be and if signing CMC means we can't afford to sign both of them, signing CMC would be an epically stupid move.

They can cut McCaffrey for free after the season if it's really that serious.
