CMC for Le'Veon Bell & 1st Round Pick & More?


Teddy Time

Recommended Posts

Don't whack me too hard, this is just an idea or a thought.  But considering Bell has not been released yet officially, and the Panthers are showing they can play well without CMC, what about trading our most lucrative asset for some key future building blocks? 

I don't know how many picks the Jets would give up, but let's at least say at the least it's the 2021 First round, which will likely be a Top 5 pick.  This would put the Panthers in primo position to get a stud starter or trade down to accelerate the rebuild.   Plus, we have every reason to believe Le'Veon Bell's poor performance as a Jet is based on personal issues with the team, not physical degradation.  In a happy environment like Carolina along with old pal Robby Anderson, the Panthers might have the old Le'Veon Bell back as a beautiful 1-2 punch with Mike Davis?

The Jets get a proven commodity and whom some consider the #1 RB in the game, which they thought they were getting with Bell.  and with Sam Darnold they're not looking for a new QB with next year's pick anyway.

As for the loss of CMC, this would probably be the only time that the Panthers could remove CMC with as minimal backlash as possible.  The Panthers are clearly a new team in transition,  and he wasn't fantastic in the first 2 weeks, so if there was ever a time fans could handle McCaffrey being pushed out, it'd be this week, and probably this week only.  

Again, not staking my life on this, but just an idea to capitalize on the situation...

Every other reason why "NO" is the answer withstanding it's clear you have not taken into account how trades effect the cap and the portion we would eat.

cmc a consummate professional, coming off one of the most productive seasons in nfl history.  or Bell, a locker room cancer that hasnt been productive in 2 seasons and probably a first round linebacker? i dont think so bub

forgot how bad the jets suck and that the 1 rd pick would probably be #1 or #2 overall(im looking at you jacksonville), no way nyj would ever make that trade

SMH. They are in line for Lawrence. I think CMC is the best RB out there and there’s no way I’d ever trade a chance for a franchise QB for him.

if i understand you right, you're saying the Jets would draft Lawrence and dump Darnold?  I don't think there's any evidence the Jets want to move on from Sam.

You should consider giving up posting these brilliant ideas and patent them.... 

FYI the cap hit from trading CMC is close to 30 million....

what evidence is there that Bell is a locker room cancer?  His issues with the Steelers were over contract.  His issues with the Jets were with coaching.  I'm not saying he's Mr. Friendly, but he's always been a good teammate.  Bell just needs to be in the right situation and the Panthers so far are one of the best situations for any player these days.  Not saying it can't go sour at some point, but it doesn't have to.  and when Bell is on, he's one of the best in the NFL.

LOL, are you aware they are going to be picking #1 and at the very worst top 3? C'mon now.

so you don't think McCaffrey is worth a Top 5 pick?  He's proven and still young.  NFL has never been more trade happy than past few years.

If he was still on his rookie deal and didn't just get paid the highest RB deal in history while coming off a high ankle sprain. Still no lol. They need a franchise QB and they will not trade that pick for anything. I appreciate the idea of bringing a new perspective into the huddle though.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
