REPORT: Panthers have received trade calls for Christian McCaffrey

[cookinbrak]

When did this become the Texans board?

[onmyown]

hopefully for next years’ first and Rhule doesn’t get to fug it up

first sounds good, just not with rhule

id honestly have cmc for 4 games than whatever dumbassery Rhule is going to conjure up, mark my words

With this team's luck, you can almost guarantee that if we trade him he will go on to be an all pro and injury free the rest of his career.

Say we did get a late first for him now that is QB taking territory in this draft

[Delhommie17]

Something big is brewing down at Bank of America.. and I truly feel we are dealing CMC is just the start.

Or, we could do something crazy, like get some offensive linemen.

No, I hear your logic and get it. But I just personally think parting ways  would make sense now if we can get a first. To be honest, I don't believe in drafting RBs in the first so I guess almost by default I feel like getting a 1st for one is never a BAD trade. CMC is definitely much more than just a RB though. But by the time we are competing again I feel like his best days will be well behind him

Definitely agree on his positional value and understanding he’s much more than just a RB. Hoping we find a way to make it work that allows him to stay in Carolina and protect his health going forward. He’s everything a franchise wants in a player in regards to character, ability, work ethic, and promotion.

For a first? I'd heavily consider that......

[ForJimmy]

So a team that would view him as a missing piece would probably own a late first like a Buffalo or San Fran. Say we get their first and a starting LB for CMC. Then we draft Cross at 6 and a QB like Howell/Willis/Corral with our later first. How would people feel about this? Especially if we grab a OG in FA.  Potentially Cross, Norwell, Elf, Brown/BC, Moton with a young QB in waiting…

Still not that high on this year's QBs.

Now if we got a guy like Cross at 6 and used a later pick on someone like Linderbaum...

and that is probably part of the problem.

The good teams that might look at CMC are probably drafting at the end of the round.  They probably don't want to give up a 1st but their 2nd is too late to entice us, hence the reason you hear about us wanting a 1st, very good chance someone has already offered a 2nd.

At this point everyone is just trying to bluff each other.  If I'm Buffalo and I'm thinking win now I could make the argument that CMC has a bigger chance of helping me get over the hump than any player I can pick at 25.  

Same could be said about Green Bay, with the contract they just gave Rodgers they are definitely looking to win now.  CMC or a rookie at 28?  Who helps more next year?

if we can trade him for a 1st, we should do it.  Throw in Matt Rhule too.  Someone might need a waterboy.

I get people thinking 6 is a reach for one, but in the mid/late 20s after repairing some of our OL problems. That might be about right actually…

Here is what I think we all know:  Fitterer is looking for cap space and draft picks.  I think he'd take a second and third rounder to get rid of the cap.  Asking price is not getting price.
