ADAM SCHEFTER: Panthers listening to Christian McCaffrey trade offers

Good teams don't pay for RBs but yet the Bills are going to trade for McCaffrey?

Something doesn't add up.

They do when its an elite top 3 RB in the league and they are already arguably SB favorites. CMC in that offense would be unreal. And they would improve their odds of winning the big one. You go for it when you are in that position.

It’s obvious the team is listening but not selling. Sounds like we won’t sell unless it makes the team better.

Correct.

From the article...

Listening hardly means the team is dealing McCaffrey. If the Panthers do not receive what they feel is a real offer -- with a high draft pick or multiple picks -- they are adamant that they will hold on to McCaffrey past the NFL's Nov. 1 trade deadline, sources told ESPN.

Not hardly...

People are calling the Panthers, not the other way around.

For an incoming coach losing McCaffrey would take us down a rung on the list of possible teams. But if he is traded, trade him to the AFC. Personally I wouldn't... unless ...AND it's a pipe dream we somehow fleeced a team like the 49ers for a second and 3rd in 2023 and a first and fourth/fifth in 2024. 

Probably never happen but Deebo + McCaffrey would really be a damn nightmare. 

Seems like a trade the Rams would make. 

We'd prob trade Anderson for a third if offered.... Chiefs

Burns, Brown and DJ aren't going anywhere. 

Donte & Shaq ...perhaps.

Yesssir.

If it puts a team over the top, it can be worth it.  A team isn't trading for let's say...a Joe Mixon type RB, but CMC? That puts a few teams in reaaaally good position--the Chiefs, Bills, Dolphins, Ravens...all who basically have an RB1 slot wide open for him to jump into.

Hell, maybe he shows out against the LAR and we ship him to LA after XFL upsets them.  

Though as mentioned, listening does not equal shopping.  We need some damn good value.  Time to get these RB-needy AFC contenders get into a bidding war.

Robbie probably returns a 5th at best

Truth

We basically have to send him somewhere that has an immediate need and space.  He's not a long term get for any squad.

What works for the Bears? Lol

Not paying running backs and replacing them with other late round backs. I know you’re just trying to be funny.

CMC and Moore should both go. We need a fresh reboot.

Id take it

Big money RBs are a bad idea.

These trade rumors become rampant every season around this time until the deadline. 

How often do they actually happen?
