McCaffrey Signs 4 Years 64 Million

[njbuff]

Once he gets hurt from overuse, this will become the worst contract in NFL history.

[1st Ammendment NoMas]

I had him on my fantasy team and he carried me to the Championship.  He'l be a top 3 pick this year. I got him at 8 last year.

Too bad Woody Harrelson will be too old to play him in the movie version of his career "White man CAN run (and catch)".

 

While the Panthers want to get the most out of him they are need to scheme to get less hits so he can get more yards.

Is that some parallel universe where Woody didn't star in White Men Can't Jump?

Just FYI he is the only rb to ever have those stats you mentioned. The only one ever in the history of the universe 

Because he is simply the best running back of all time...

Yes I read that he wasn’t expected to show up without a new deal

They snaked him right out from under us

well he certainly has a nice start to being the best ever. now he needs to stay healthy and have the right staff to get him the ball

have you seen David Johnson’s production?  

I have.  He didn't carry that kind of salary or cap hit though.

Well that's why he needs to demand a trade to us ASAP... forget professionalism for a minute, both he and us need to win Super Bowls

This is not just about what the player is worth as a RB. He is a pretty decent WR too. And, he is not just being paid for his worth on the field. McCaffrey is the face of the franchise going forward (even more than the QB) - and is being paid accordingly. Actually, a very very smart play by Carolina.

 

 

 

Until he suffers an injury or has a "down year".  Either of which is a real possibility.

     This has been the talk in Clt for weeks. He would have been an idiot to continue to play without a new deal.

       Unboldest take of them all: He will be Bridgewater’s favorite receiver and lead the Panthers in yards from scrimmage by a thousand yards minimum over the next closest Panther.

      Their O talent isn’t terrible but their D is. 
      I’m seeing 4 wins for this team, tops.

I mean it’s football and that can be said for every player.

[SoCal Deek]

Really happy for him! I watched so many of his games in what I guess was his junior year of college. He was the BEST all around player I’d ever seen...and I’m old. When he would break through a hole his legs were moving twice as fast as everyone else on the field! Incredible performances week after week.

McCaffrey is worth every damn penny, good for him!

Welp, I am going to go out on a limb. This particular limb states that McCaffrey will never achieve that kind of production again and in a couple years McCaffrey will seem grossly overpaid.

 

Don't worry. I know this is a lonely limb to be sitting on and I know that people are glaring at me out here. I guess we'll just see what happens.

Great point. That's true.

By that logic, no player should ever sign a 16 mill per year avg contract - how do you explain all these big contracts like Amari Cooper, DeForest Buckner, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson etc.? Injuries and down years are factored into these contracts by the teams via the salary cap - how else do you explain the healthy bottomlines of the teams despite the large number of injuries suffered?

he's only worth it if he produces close to 2000 all purpose yards yearly. if not it's a crazy waste of money

 

Why? If you look at WRs that will make comparable money in 2020, CMC is much more valuable than all of them. I could use the only WR slated to make exactly $16 million(Sammy

 

Watkins), but that seems a bit unfair, so I'll use the 3 guys who are going to be paid $16.2 million(Thielen, Cooks & Hopkins). Hopkins has averaged 1,230.4 total yards & 7.71 total

 

TDs per year in his 7 year career. Cooks has averaged 1,001 total yards & 6 total TDs per year in his 6 year career. With Thielen I won't even count his 1st 2 years as they were really

 

bad. Thielen has averaged 1,024 total yards & 6.25 total TDs per year in the last 4 years. But with CMC I'll include his very average 1st year. CMC has averaged 1,814.33 yards &

 

20.66 TDs per year in his 3 year career. He had over 600 more scrimmage yards than any other player in the league & was tied for 1st in total TDs. If you ask me, given his production,

 

I think the Panthers got a really good deal.

He deserves it, best fantasy player ever 

 

I picked him as a rookie and as I play in a keeper league he's gone nowhere since and won't be going anywhere in the future. 

 

Bridgewater and McCaffrey are a nice 1-2 for the Panthers but they'll need them to be on fire as they'll need to score 30 points a game to hit up that dub.

[papazoid]

how much is guaranteed ??....that will be the real length of the deal.

 

i hate paying RB's big money....but this guy is worth it.

 

a bird in the hand is worth three in the bush.

McCaffrey      $16,0 million a year                  1,387 yards rushing            1,005 yards receiving                   1st round pick 8          rank at RB   1     

 

Diggs               $14.4 million a year                 -------------------------------            1,130 yards receiving                  

 

Yeldon             $01.5 million a year                       63 yards rushing               124 yards receiving                  2nd round  pick 36       rank at RB 96

 

Singeltary       $00.97 million a year                  775 yards rushing               194 yards receiving                   3rd round   pick   4          rank at RB 31

 

 

You get what you pay for.

[machine gun kelly]

He is an amazing RB, but no RB is worth $16 mil. / yr.  It’s too much $ that will get taken away from other players.
