thats a crazy number.

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

That's been my soapbox since the Double Trouble days.   I don't like first round RBs and  I don't like second contracts.   

I mean, CMC is a bad dude.  Love to watch him play.  Just seems like a pointless way to build a team in the NFL.

If we keep Rhule I’m fine with sending him to a competitor. If we get a new coach(and training staff) that’s up to them but I’d keep him.

I feel like we have held him out of games just being overly protected of one our better game changers.. I understand he is a labeled as running back but he is also likely are 2nd best WR.. typically I don’t hold a lot a value in running backs but is he more!!!! With that said if we are truly thinking of trading him in the off-season we should have played him more if in fact he was only being held out to protect our long term asset.. now you want to trade him ? What’s his off-season trade value? 

Nothing wrong with seeing how much we can get for him.  Remember, Rhule through us under the bus with picks we can use to bolster the O line and QB.  Fire Rhule, XX XXX

McCaffrey could still easily be worth the contract if the Panthers did the sensible thing and made him a primary receiver who also plays RB.  

Granted our QBs suck.  But if we had a solid QB, CMC would tear it up in the slot and out of the backfield.  The way the Saints used Kamara for all of those years is how McCaffrey should be used.  There is NO reason for CMC to have 20+ carries in a game.

The ideal touch count for him is about 10-12 in the run game and 5-7 in the receiving game.

If we keep him, we should split his reps 50/50 are RB and WR. 

Maybe not a bad idea if we can't get anything higher than a 3rd.

You're right.  It's time.

I have no emotional response to this.  I honestly don’t care.  
 

Tepper won, I don’t give a damn anymore. 
 

Good job.  Dick.

I'm not overly surprised by this. I've long expected that the Panthers were going to look for ways to offload perceived luxury players in order to try and gain much needed draft assets. 

Rhule needs to rebuild the line and fix the QB position to save his job. There's going to be some serious wheeling and dealing this off season.

I don't know if Rhule is smart enough to do that properly.  Fire Rhule, XX XXX

Can someone please make a thread of every single post on here that said before the season…”we should trade CMC in a package for an ACTUAL quarterback.” 
 

He’s got Lev Bell type injury history now. Who is going to give us fair value. STOP getting attached to particular players. Unless his name is Brady, Rodgers, Allen, Watson, Wilson….they are replaceable.

Take what we can get to unload that contract 

I don't know about that.  He's probably worth a 3rd at least.  But, the market drives the price.  Fire Rhule, XX XXX

On 2nd thought; Rhule will have been in charge for the departures of Cam 2x’s, Luke, and CMC.

Thats impressive.

Start ASAP. If no takers tell him he is a WR or can retire. Thank you, lots of love but it's happening.

He's making WR money. He'd wouldn't get contact from 300lb linemen every damn touch.

He should have been Cooper Kupp in the NFL. That would have been a position swap that everyone could understand and get behind.

He should have been used exactly like they used Smitty, but again that was a professional NFL staff.

Too much dead money, too much for a team to pay, and his market is SO dead right now.

CMC is going to have to come back and be a difference maker again.  Then we'll see.

As far as Rhule.   Who knows?  "be patient while I do impatient things."
