Getting a 1st in return to get rid of that contract is a no brainer, even if it is later like the Bills or something. I love McCaffrey, absolute beast and one of the few bright spots of our current playoff drought. But he's a RB in an era where RBs just aren't valued, has a massive contract and hasn't been able to stay on the field lately. For a team without much draft capital we should definitely do this, as much as it would suck to see him getting healthy and lighting it up in another uniform.

I guess it depends on the 1st, but at this point it feels like any 1st would be a decent return.  He's a really special player when healthy, but I'm not just not sure if he can stay healthy for a full season any more.  Certainly not with the same way he's been used in the past.

That to me is the key.

I'm a big fan.  I think we should keep him.  I also think we should stop treating him like he's JStew.  If we need three yards between the tackles, fine, draft a guy to do that.  If we are gonna get him out on the edge with motion, match him up against LB's, create scary looks for a defense, GREAT.  Give him carries and catches, but make sure he gets those in places where he can be the guy he is.

We will trade him to a team with good coaching and he will be used correctly and everyone here will be yelling about how poor the general management was to let him go.

I remember when I got ripped apart on here suggesting that we would get at least a first for CMC if we were to trade him. We have all of the leverage here.

I was ripped too.  Some folks told me we'll have to give up a pick just to get someone to take him.

For a first absolutely. We can ask for that but doesn't mean it will happen due to the injuries. The Texans are doing the same thing with Watson. Just because you want it doesn't mean there will be a buyer.

I remember going to the team store and having no confidence in purchasing a CMC jersey with the expectation that I just couldn't see him on the team long term when it came time to put my own money on it. Got a Chinn jersey tho.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
