Bills tried to trade for CMC?

Yes, because CMC has never been healthy. 

fug the stupidity. 

He was healthy for 3 and an absolute workhorse for 2 of those, no disagreement there. Unfortunately though dude's missed 23+ of 33 potential games the past 2 seasons with nagging soft tissue injuries. I want to believe he'll be healthy again and don't think Carolina should really limit him at all to start the season but it is what it is at this point.

I really like cmc but giving any rb a massive extension after 3 seasons is dumb.  If we had used the 5th year option, we would be resigning or franchising him now and his contract would be very different.

CMC should be on the team this year, especially if they expect Matt C. to play early. He will be a rookie QBs best friend (along with the OL).

IMO limiting his touches is key to help keep him healthy. He makes a great decoy and will make the most of 10-12 carries a game. Freeman should get about the same (mostly the hard carries between the tackles).

successful teams watching welker and guys like kupp dominate, and watching the unfortunately limited film of cmc showing those same flashes, running crisp routes and being productive in the slot, and noticing the panthers think he’s Jerome Bettis 2.0 are probably salivating at using cmc the right way

meanwhile Rhule argues if our constantly injured HB isn’t avoiding open space and running between the tackles for 30 carries a game for 1/4 the season we are taking away what makes him special 

can’t make this poo up
