Stunner: Panthers are trading Pro-Bowl RB Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for draft picks, sources tell ESPN. McCaffrey returns to the Bay Area, where he attended Stanford

That's what teams do when they are no longer contenders, they trade their best players for as much as they can get.

Great Player when Healthy.

9'ers now have a 5th and two 7th's in 2023 Draft.

McCaffrey heads to a better offense in San Francisco but will he maintain a similar role on a new team?

Will Cowboys get Raiders Star Tight end next

I like the WTF look on his face.....I agree.

 

[basquebromance]

he's still in Carolina, he needs to hurry to San Fran so he can make the game in 48 hours. the Rams also wanted him after he smoked them last week

Ed McCaffrey played under Mike Shanahan, now Chris McCaffrey plays under Kyle Shanahan

perfect fit, and Christian says he's "thrilled" to be going there

He just signed a massive contract with the Raiders and I’m sure they would like to unload him as he seems content to not play

 

[XponentialChaos]

If he stays healthy, I think he will be a perfect fit in our offense.

I’m not crazy about how much we gave away for him, but I suppose it’s fair. We’ll see if it pays off.

9'ers now have a 5th and two 7th's in 2023 Draft.

We also have two compensatory 3rd round picks.

And that is the conundrum. Players have to be on the field for that haul Carolina received.

 

[Failzero]

Debo Samuel May have to play some Fullback

 

[odanny]

We all saw LA go all in last year and they won it all, now have no more draft picks for a few years. It’s definitely worth giving up future picks to win now if you have the other players you need, and they do, if Jimmy G stays healthy

He won’t have to carry the entire load in SF like he did in Carolina. Teams knew if they stopped McCaffrey they stopped the Panthers. Can’t do that in SF which means less touches, less hits and the hits you take aren’t as bad. Should translate to him being able to stay healthier.

McCaffrey will only be as good as the system he's in and the QB he has. He's a quick, shifty RB who not only is a threat on the ground but is handsy in the short passing game. Not all coaches know how to utilize such a guy. Had he gone to Bill Belichek and Tom Brady Patriots in the 2010's? That'd be a game changer. To San Francisco? It's not impossible, but I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Failzero]

Debo Samuel may have to play some Fullback too

 

[basquebromance]

for all you fantasy lovers!
