As the November 1 trading deadline approaches, the NFL becomes their first major hit. The Carolina Panthers They agreed to swap the star managing Christian McCaffrey’s return to San Francisco 49ers For multiple draft selections, according to NFL media CBS Sports insider Josina Anderson confirmed it. As opposed to McCaffrey, the leopards receive 2023 second, third and fourth round picks, plus a fifth player in 2024.
After coach Matt Rolle was fired, the Panthers are reportedly starting to listen to McCaffrey’s offers as they look to rebuild. Along with the 49ers, the NFL Network notes that Los Angeles Rams They were also in deep talks to acquire McCaffrey, but he ended up with their NFC West rival. While there has been some speculation that buffalo billsa Super Bowl competitor, may have been in the mix of McCaffrey’s services, that was It said Not the bag, not the case.
That ends Carolina’s six-year term for McCaffrey, who was named No. 8 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft from Stanford. In that time, he blossomed into one of the best linebackers in NFL history. He became the fastest player in league history to reach 3,000 yards and 3,000 yards. The 26-year-old is also tied for most consecutive games with a reception by dropping 57.
The deal was able to get it done with the help of the fact that the 49ers had six additional picks from the third round. The shots were from send Robert Saleh New York JetsMike McDaniel Miami Dolphin Martin Mayhew to Washington leaders over the past few seasons.
The one thing that prevented McCaffrey from reaching higher grades during the early stages of his career was injury. Having played in every game during his first three seasons, he was limited to just 10 matches between 2020 and 2021 due to injury. However, McCaffrey has been interesting in the 2022 campaign and has played in 85.1% of offensive shots thus far.
McCaffrey’s elite talent as a runner and off-field receiver not only makes him an attractive commercial target, but also keeps him under team control for the foreseeable future as he is currently under contract during the 2025 season, so he could be part of Kyle’s backfield for Shanahan in San Francisco for the foreseeable future.
The Niners needed a talent boost on their backcourt after Elijah Mitchell sprained his MCL in Week 1. He might help specifically through the reception game. So far this season, the Niners has only 19 reception appearances, and is tied for seventh in the NFL. McCaffrey will now headline a group that also consists of Jeff Wilson Jr., Stephen Coleman and Tyrion Davis-Price.
As for what his addition for this season might mean, CBS Sports research analyst Stephen Oh sees San Francisco moving from a 67.9% probability of making the playoffs to 71.3% in his latest forecast. As for the NFC West, their chances of winning the division jumped to 52.5% from 49%.
49ers take on heads at Levy’s Stadium this Sunday and it will be interesting to see how much (if any) action McCaffrey sees given the delay in the week he joins his new club. NFL media Reports that McCaffrey will fly to San Francisco on Friday. If he plays on Sunday, he is expected to see the red zone pack.
