Panthers taking offers for Cmac in the off-season

[travisura]

It is funny if this turns out to be true, because I was called delusional and told that trading CMC was impossible after I suggested it in another thread.

[BurnNChinn]

Nobody is paying that contract for a rb that can’t stay healthy and only play like 6 games last two years. We are stuck with another crappy Marty Hurney contract!

[CRA]

Rhule literally just paid CMC when he got here.  Now he is begging some team to come trade for a injury prone finanical monster at the RB position. 

all part of the 1000% working plan

 

[Panthering]

It was always going to end this way after the contract we gave him. RBs never see the end of their big paydays, we will likely not get an offer that suits our needs due to his cap hit and then we'll have to release him at some point. Friggin sucks, I'd rather keep the guy and hope it works itself out but he suddenly can't stay healthy now either.

[T-Wazzle]

I'd keep him and transition into more a receiver.

If he's traded, how much are the Panthers gonna pay for him to play for another team?

sources? random IG account?

CMC is a 26 million dead cap hit next year.   We ain't trading him next year.  Maybe in 2023 we can look to part with him. 

Nevermind, maybe we will.  Because Matt Rhule is in charge.  And Matt Rhule does Matt Rhule things.  Because Matt Rhule is the worst.

Is there an article stating this?  Seems like its just someone's opinion.

That being said, we probably will listen to offers. 

From Person's roster analysis in The Athletic...

Stays or goes? Stays

The Panthers would listen to offers for McCaffrey, who’s one of the league’s most versatile players. But it’s hard to imagine teams would give up much for a player who’s missed 23 of the past 33 games and still has $44 million left on his contract.

Analyzing the Panthers roster: Who's in, who's out?

So it sounds like the person who made that IG post just took that first sentence and ran with it, implying that it was likely that CMC would be traded. Not technically dishonest, but misleading without full context.

Yeah, they were fishing for clicks.

The title of this thread is kind of inaccurate too. That's not what was being reported.

It's just another sign of a dysfunctional organization.

The concept of trading CMC isn't terrible, except that it is.

Every team in the NFL can look back and see that the dude has played 10 games in the last 32.  That's a HUGE hit to any trade value he might have.  No one is going to give us anything remotely resembling value for him.

If the Panthers think the guy can be healthy, there is literally ZERO reason to trade him.  The only reason they would consider it is because they DON'T have that belief.  Every other team can figure that out.

It's just dumb, dysfunctional Panthers again if the report is true.

Huh.

McCaffrey has played in as many games as Rhule has won in that same timeframe, and we're actively looking to get rid of CMC...

And CMC is actually good.

thats a crazy number.

never ever give a RB a 2nd contract.  just draft another one in round 3.

Try to get like a 3rd from Buffalo or something and take the massive cap hit seems to be the only plan. Wonderful contract!
