I am now officially on the "Jimmy for McCaffrey straight up" trade bandwagon.
He's perfect for what Shanahan wants to do, in terms of "position-less offense." Since both players have large cap hits, I imagine there is a way to equitably disperse McCaffrey's bonus money. He's injury prone and thus overpaid, so maybe the Panthers want an out? But over on our team, with Elijah Mitchell, Shanahan doesn't have to blast him into the ground (I know that's what he did last year, but there's room for adjustment).
Imagine Deebo at running back, Juice at TE, Kittle at FB, Aiyuk out wide and McCaffrey in motion the slot? The zany formations that could come from this...
Let's take another injury prone player so we can have a new thread to hit 1000 pages of b***hing.
While this is true, which is the norm? The last two years or the two prior? And, 8 games of McCaffrey is better than zero of Jimmy. What if they give us draft capital as well?
I'd feel better if his two injury years were 2018/19 and his two healthy years were 2020/21, but it's reversed.
Also quite true.
It would be a gamble. High risk, high reward. Kind of like Trey Lance.
