KGun12TD Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Give me Clowney instead at that price...I think we would be more than a serious contender after that. Edited June 13, 2020 by KGun12TD
Plano Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 hard no. He's not even discussed as one of the top backs in the league. Maybe when he starts producing he can act that way, who does he think he is, Dak?

Full disrespect meant, McCaffrey is GOAT and all these other guys are chumps in comparison, they deserve only a fraction of what he got because they only have a fraction of his talent 1

That’s insane to say otherwise. however, he struggles to stay healthy but he is a stud. And with the way rbs are treated, every rb should hold out after a productive season.

He’s a running back playing in a Gary kubiak scheme. Of course he’s going to produce. Everyone produces in that scheme. All that being said....If he holds out, he’ll be an idiot again.

Buffalo03 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 If he went to Tampa, that would be insane. The one thing they're missing on offense is a RB
BillsFan4 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 I think we have our top 2 RBs already. I’m very excited to see a 1-2 punch of Devin Singletary and Zach moss.

They have too many contracts coming up. Tre, Dawkins, Milano, Edmunds and hopefully Allen. And they have one good RB in Singletary and a potentially good one in Moss. 1
Doc Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Another year like 2019 and he'll make a strong case for a big payday.

His injury record speaks for itself and unlike McCaffrey he doesn't double up as receiver, so doesn't have that inherent value if he drops off as an RB, and his value is spread across 2 spots because he has a wider role. The last half decade is littered with RBs not justifying big pay days. If he wants to play that game, he'll go the same way as another talented but injury prone RB, Devonta Freeman.

History says he won't, but you never know. And I don't think he'll get anywhere near McCaffrey money.

McCaffrey is being paid as a WR I think the Vikings will offer him 10-12. If that gets it done, he’s a smart man. If he declines that, he’d have made a mistake 1

blacklabel Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 I know players are keen to push for the best possible deal but it I'm the Vikings, I'm hesitant to give this dude a huge guaranteed contract. He's never played a full 16 game season. He's missed 19 games in his three year career. And no, there's no reason to trade for him. Singletary and Moss will be fine.

That he might take 14 mill a year and that he’ll take less per year if it’s guaranteed?
