CMC for Le'Veon Bell & 1st Round Pick & More?

[Teddy Time]

Don't whack me too hard, this is just an idea or a thought.  But considering Bell has not been released yet officially, and the Panthers are showing they can play well without CMC, what about trading our most lucrative asset for some key future building blocks? 

I don't know how many picks the Jets would give up, but let's at least say at the least it's the 2021 First round, which will likely be a Top 5 pick.  This would put the Panthers in primo position to get a stud starter or trade down to accelerate the rebuild.   Plus, we have every reason to believe Le'Veon Bell's poor performance as a Jet is based on personal issues with the team, not physical degradation.  In a happy environment like Carolina along with old pal Robby Anderson, the Panthers might have the old Le'Veon Bell back as a beautiful 1-2 punch with Mike Davis?

The Jets get a proven commodity and whom some consider the #1 RB in the game, which they thought they were getting with Bell.  and with Sam Darnold they're not looking for a new QB with next year's pick anyway.

As for the loss of CMC, this would probably be the only time that the Panthers could remove CMC with as minimal backlash as possible.  The Panthers are clearly a new team in transition,  and he wasn't fantastic in the first 2 weeks, so if there was ever a time fans could handle McCaffrey being pushed out, it'd be this week, and probably this week only.  

Again, not staking my life on this, but just an idea to capitalize on the situation...

cmc a consummate professional, coming off one of the most productive seasons in nfl history.  or Bell, a locker room cancer that hasnt been productive in 2 seasons and probably a first round linebacker? i dont think so bub

Every other reason why "NO" is the answer withstanding it's clear you have not taken into account how trades effect the cap and the portion we would eat.

SMH. They are in line for Lawrence. I think CMC is the best RB out there and there’s no way I’d ever trade a chance for a franchise QB for him.

forgot how bad the jets suck and that the 1 rd pick would probably be #1 or #2 overall(im looking at you jacksonville), no way nyj would ever make that trade

if i understand you right, you're saying the Jets would draft Lawrence and dump Darnold?  I don't think there's any evidence the Jets want to move on from Sam.

i feel dumb for even entertaining this

You should consider giving up posting these brilliant ideas and patent them.... 

FYI the cap hit from trading CMC is close to 30 million....

LOL, are you aware they are going to be picking #1 and at the very worst top 3? C'mon now.

Have you watched Bell play? He's washed.

what evidence is there that Bell is a locker room cancer?  His issues with the Steelers were over contract.  His issues with the Jets were with coaching.  I'm not saying he's Mr. Friendly, but he's always been a good teammate.  Bell just needs to be in the right situation and the Panthers so far are one of the best situations for any player these days.  Not saying it can't go sour at some point, but it doesn't have to.  and when Bell is on, he's one of the best in the NFL.

so you don't think McCaffrey is worth a Top 5 pick?  He's proven and still young.  NFL has never been more trade happy than past few years.

If he was still on his rookie deal and didn't just get paid the highest RB deal in history while coming off a high ankle sprain. Still no lol. They need a franchise QB and they will not trade that pick for anything. I appreciate the idea of bringing a new perspective into the huddle though.
