Lisa McCaffery on CMC trade rumors

[LinvilleGorge]

CMC's dad had a long productive NFL career but his career didn't truly takeoff until he landed in a well ran organization with an elite QB on the roster.

I would honestly be flat out shocked if his family wasn't advising him to try to get out. You have your millions now. If you care about the game and your legacy within the game you need to get out. It's why I've also been saying that I honestly think there's a good chance that CMC has been missing all this time with nagging injuries based on a conscious decision to preserve his body. Why beat yourself to hell playing for an awful team when you've already got that bag in the form of your fat contract?

Don't be shocked if CMC emerges elsewhere playing for a contender and suddenly is much more durable than he's been since getting paid.

It's happening. . .we just don't know the details yet.

This would be Fitt's biggest transaction of his career. Really defines where we are going with him based on what he gets in return.

 

aka... dont fug this up or you are out.

Better yet, get in a verbal brawl with a coach during a game and get sent to the locker room.

Chiefs

The Chiefs have 3 young Rbs. The only way they make that deal is if we get Pachecho or Clyde Edwards Delaire back in return, and if we did get one of those backs and a draft pick... then thats a good deal for us as well.

I'd tell my mom to stop using my name to sell clicks.

I just don't see how anyone can watch CMC on game days throughout his entire career (including after getting his extension) and suggest he's the type of guy who gets paid and then checks out for self-preservation.  The dude gives it 150% on every snap and does not play like a guy trying to preserve his body.  Elflein shared a story about how CMC came into the training room in last year's game against the Saints (soon after his "fat contract") violently vomiting with full body cramps, got a quick IV, and then went back in to finish handling his usual 30 touches/game.

If I were to make a list of possible reasons for CMC's significant injury history/missed games over the last couple seasons, my list (in order of likelihood) would go:

1) He's legit building up nagging injuries due to his 479 touches per game because of how overly reliant our offense is on him (including continuously running him up the gut like a 250-pound battering ram)

2) Rhule putting him on IR prematurely to build an excuse for his failures (unlike CMC, Rhule has shown time and time again of being fueled by self-preservation)

THEN a distant 3rd would be CMC playing up the injuries to avoid sacrificing his body for a losing team.

Seems like a natural response to a coaching change, and trade rumors. 
 

This doesn’t tell us anything. Robbie just got traded too. Of course don’t buy a ticket yet. 
 

This doesn’t confirm he is being traded at all. There’s just smoke about it, and his family (Mom) is just reacting accordingly.

I love CMC but at this point would also love to see him on a good team in the playoffs.  If the Panthers could somehow get a 1st round pick and maybe a later round pick, etc ..... I make the trade.  The reason I like having another teams 1st (even if later in the round) is it could possibly be used as part of a trade up in draft if needed to get a specific QB they really like.

that's probably called hope.  I mean, if I was CMC I would hope I got traded.  This is his prime and it's going to lead to nothing pending he doesn't get traded and out. 

Yeah, I mean why would he want to go through another potential rebuild? Go through what will be his 5th head coach.

If he wants to go, I hope no one wouldn't understand.
