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.

Just look at photos of the guy he's a physical freak of nature who is uber athletic and built. Injury means we can actually pull of the trade. If he was healthy and putting up 2k+ scrimmage yards every year we wouldn't be in the ball park to get him. Just don't give him 30-40 touches per game and he'll be fine.

not s**tting on this idea but could we afford Deebo and Bosa if we took on CMC's deal?

I do wonder about that. I'd obviously prefer to keep both the guys we got. Certainly we'd have to part ways with McCaffrey once Trey is ready for his extension.

It'd open the doors to get a deal done with deebo. Jimmy makes $10M more annually than cmc so it would clear cap room. Bosas probably won't get his payday till next year.

They'd probably want more than just Jimmy though.

As good and productive CM has been he would go to another level under Shanahan.

I love McCaffrey and always felt he should have been the Heisman winner. The problem with him is mileage. He was used a ton in college and in his earlier years at Carolina. Now it seems like he's breaking down. Definitely would be a gamble in any trade talks.

I believe this as well, and would love to see it.
Mccaffrey and kyle would be a lethal combo. But i heard that Mccaffrey is broken down and useless.

Same can be said about our players. So he should fit right in

If he's not, and we keep Deebo, it might reduce the wear and tear on Deebo, tbh.

Can't expect mccaffrey to be a high milage guy at this point but he's only 25 still showing talent and production. That's a good aspect, a lot of people imagine him and Debo on the field together but would also be an excellent 1-2 punch in both passing and rushing giving each other a rest if needed.

That is the #1 reason to pipe dream about it, it's not crazy to think cmc could hit 1k rushing + 1k receiving with kyles offense
