Move CMC to slot receiver in 2022

He won’t be nearly as a effective. People overrate just receiving skills cause he gets covered by LB the majority of time, when teams put nickel backs on him he gets shutdown. 
 

I seriously think he needs to lose some muscle, dude is a naturally 200 pounds, but has ballooned up to 210 maybe 215. Put him at slot and take a major cut on his contract

Never happen. WR franchise tag is nearly twice that of a RB. WR salaries are far higher than RBs.

You are correct about coverage, though. He could routinely beat LBs, but nickel CBs will shut him down.

No true slot WR is getting paid more than Mccaffrey.

That's not what I said.

Top 5 salary average for a WR the last 5 seasons is almost $16M. If you tag a WR, whether he plays #1, 2 or slot makes no difference. Remember the TE a couple years ago when a TE tried to get WR franchise tag money because of the number of receptions he had?

Top 5 average salary for a RB the last 5 seasons is about $8.7M.

But op specifically said slot WR some I’m using that context. The fact is Mccaffrey will never see that type of money again playing slot, and it would be crazy to pay a slot WR 17 mill.

1. Trade him to whatever contender falls short this year.  KC, Buffalo, etc. would probably salivate at the idea of CMC in their offense

2. If a trade isn't possible, yupppp.  CMC needs to be a WR from here on out. A few rushes a game, but protect the investment you made.  If you can't get rid of the contract, you better maximize a way for him to stay on the field and earn it.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
