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

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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
