Fitterer has said many times that he would listen to offers.  Now that the Watson deal is dead and we've signed D. Freeman and still have Hubbard.

It makes me wonder if Fitterer isn't trying to get some draft capital back.

Personally, I want CMC to stay but since he still have value we might try to move him.  Another shorten season and his value will be minimal. 

Thoughts?

His value is already minimal in a trade scenario and the cap hit isn't worth any draft capital we gained(likely a 2nd rounder, at best). 

If he gets injured again next season and misses significant time, then I would say trade him for whatever you can get(5th, 6th, etc).

You're probably right.  I think there might be a couple of teams that would bite on a 1st but not many.  At this point a early 2nd would be perfect.

I don't think many teams would part with a 1st for him. Not many want a RB salary at $8-12 mil for that length of time(4 years). Then you have even fewer that value RB's at a 1st round grade. 

Early second is mostly dumpster fire teams, so I am not sure how many of them would need a RB or want a RB-centric offense. 

I don't think we are actively shopping him, though. I think we are just willing to listen to offers.

I think a McCaffrey trade at this point is more or less off the table. Would need to be an overpayment and who’s going to overpay for an oft-injured RB with his contract? Nobody. Better to hang onto him and either roll with him or at least try to rebuild his value. Would be much better to trade him next offseason if he stays healthy this year and performs.
 

But also if we’re gonna roll with a young unknown at QB we’re gonna want McC for Ds to focus on. That along with a great OL is our only hope for success if we have a rookie QB from this weaker draft.

This makes good sense.  I love CMC but there comes a time when you wear a person down.  Could we get a 2nd?  I'm not so sure but if we could I'd let him go.  As you stated, if he is injured again we probably will have to settle for a 5th or let him go.

Unless we get a pretty decent haul in draft capital, there isn't a great reason to get rid of him in 2022. He is the best offensive weapon at RB in the NFL if he can stay healthy. So see if he stays healthy and if he can't, just cut your losses and take the lesson about signing RB's to massive deals. We did something stupid and we paid the price.

If not, and he is healthy for a whole year, then you once again have a core member of the franchise.

They should play him as a Deebo/Curtis Samuel type them only use him as a RB in the playoffs. Treat him like an NBA big man, let them play power forward during the season then when the playoffs begin and you need to go small and use your best lineup, your great big finally plays the 5

He is a great pass receiving RB....as a RB. If you try to make him a utility player then he immediately becomes less of a threat to a defense. You take away his most valuable tool, which is that he is a great runner.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
