Is there a trade looming?

It appears we are on the hunt for a big back... with the front office knowing it’s go big or go home... do you think we stay put, trade or wait for cuts?

 

MMQB's Albert Breer reports the Panthers are trying to find a backup who can "ideally" take "a lot" of Christian McCaffrey's short-yardage and goal-line work.

Last year, six of McCaffrey's seven rushing touchdowns came on runs inside the four-yard line, and 17.6-percent of his total carries came with less than three-yards to go. If the Panthers find a capable short-area back, that would somewhat limit McCaffrey's ceiling. But the good news is the Panthers backup backs (Jordan Scarlett, Reggie Bonnafon, and Cameron Artis-Payne) aren't exactly big threats. Not to mention McCaffrey's insane passing-game workload. While it's a situation worth monitoring, this likely amounts to close to nothing for McCaffrey's fantasy value. He still needs to be drafted within the first four picks.

Our FB looks like poop in short yardage. There's a reason we stuck with CMC when it counted. Coaches want to keep their jobs.

What situations have you seen that? Honestly last year I barely saw anyone with the ball in their hands running except for Cam and Christian

He nearly cost us a TD last season with a terrible slow run with no push, and then they sent in CMC and we scored. Our FB doesn't look good at all to me. Need a faster power back.

Seems effective. I would think Armah could handle those duties if necessary if CAP or HOLYFIELD can't.

Jourdan Rodrigue kind of threw cold water on this...  And I'm not sure the idea of a trade isn't being taken out of context...

For background, Albert Breer of the NFL Network tweeted some things he had "learned" from Panthers camp and said they were looking for a bigger back to punch the ball close to the end zone to save some wear and tear on CMC.

Personally, I think this was lazy reporting based on Rivera saying they wanted to limit some snaps for CMC but not touches and him elaborating on it without any true insight.

There is obviously a battle for a backup RB, but the team has a big back in Armah.  They would like to have someone who ideally could do the same things CMC can do.

Typical lazy reporting from the national guys IMO

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
