I remember when RBs had trade value.  When we traded away a used-up Simpson in 1978, we got:

 

1978 2nd round draft pick (DE Scott Hutchinson)

1978 3rd round pick (WR Danny Fulton)

1979 1st round pick (LB Tom Cousineau)

1979 4th round pick (DE Ken Johnson)  (aka Pinto Ron)

1980 2nd round pick (RB Joe Cribbs)

 

What a great trade for the Bills!  Joe Cribbs was a really talented multipurpose back for us.  And, of course, Cousineau turned into Jim Kelly.

 

Obviously, there's a durability issue but it's amazing you could potentially get someone of McCaffrey's talent for a 2nd rounder.  Though I wouldn't want his contract.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Steam Machine” Fulton !!

The Bills will have the draft capital this year to make a move like this if they want. If not McCaffrey than Barkley or an OL that’s on the outs. 
 

There is no way the Panthers give him up for a 4th tho like some are suggesting, just to save face. 
 

My guess is if you see him moved a Conditional 3rd(turns into a 2) a 4th and a late pick

I’m more interested in him as a FA at this point. He’s got like $60M left in cap hit left and has played like 6 games that last 2 seasons.

No!  We don't need to hear anything about you, McCaffrey, and the 'Mile High Club'. 🤨

*
He'll probably get injured walking off the guddam plane. 😠

Do you guys know how many people have had crazy injuries and come back to play at a Hall of Fame level? TONS!!! Including McCaffrey for the Bills... 

Guys, I only have such vomit in my body...please stop with all the negative McCaffrey hot takes, all we need now is someone to explain how his body is roid infested and will never be the same again:cry:

Not many RBs make it back and resume playing at a top level.  Gale Sayers came back but wasn't as good.  OJ was never the same after his 1977 injury.  

 

The biggest consideration however is the salary cap.  Beane's success comes from avoiding expensive long-term commitments, Josh the obvious and necessary exception.

He played 58 games.  I do not think you know what that word means.

He will have a short lived career and in a few years he will be another guy who could have been great if he just stayed healthy.

He has missed 23 games since 2020... his health is getting worse. His best years are already behind him.

He has lingering issues that never go away for the type of player he is and it's only getting worse each and every season.

Comparing injuries 50 years ago versus today doesn't work with how much medical science has changed. Heck 30-40 years ago a torn ACL was a career ending injury and now it's almost the norm at this phase.  CMC is 25yrs old and had a rough couple years, the dude is a flat out baller. I'd have no prob with a cap restructure and giving up a 3rd.

 

Here's his (minor) injury history

 

Oct 8, 2016 - Non NFL - Inguinal Hip Pull - McCaffrey missed 1 game (vs. Notre Dame).

Sep 20, 2020 - Pedal Ankle (high) Sprain Grade 3 - McCaffrey suffered a right high-ankle sprain during Week 2's loss to the Buccaneers and missed six games

Nov 8, 2020 - Shoulder A/C Joint Sprain - McCaffrey injured his shoulder on the last drive of Week 9's loss to the Chiefs. He missed 4 games

Dec 9, 2020 - Thigh Glute Strain - McCaffrey's thigh tightened up ahead of Week 14 game. He missed 4 games due to that injury.

Sep 23, 2021 - Thigh Hamstring Strain Grade 2 - McCaffrey suffered a strained hamstring in Week 3's Panthers win over the Texans. He missed five games.

Nov 28, 2021- Pedal Ankle Sprain Grade 2 - McCaffrey rolled his left ankle in Week 12's loss to the Dolphins. He was placed on injured reserve Monday and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Constant minor injuries are actually worse then 1 major one.

His injuries are all different. People need to give the lingering issues a break. He was healthy in college and all his injuries the last couple years are called bad luck. 

 

He's 25 yrs old and will be fine.

I wouldn't draft him for fantasy football, let alone pay him that salary to be hurt.

Everyone laughed when I had the first pick in the draft and I chose Henry first. Was going so well too…
