Unless you can get multiple picks for each, trading Moore and CMC would be pointless and dumb.

Unless you can get say a 2nd and 4th and a 2nd and 5th for each Moore and CMC, essentially 4 picks for two players, it would be pointless to trade them for a late first rounder and just one pick.

ok so say you trade CMC to the bills for a “first round draft pick.” Woo hoo, we now have two first round draft picks, profit!! Not exactly, that will be anywhere from pick 28-32, ok so now we have a big gaping hole to fill at RB with CMC gone.

How do we fill that hole?! What FA RB is out there that matches what CMC can do? Or what RB prospect are you going to get at pick 31 or 32 to come close to the player CMC is? 
 

Same exact logic for Moore. You trade DJ Moore, you now have a big void at WR you now have to fill. Are you filling that in FA? Is this a deep enough draft class to get a stud WR at picks 28-32?! 
 

Now two picks for each player at least makes more sense value wise because you can address more needs. But trading straight up for just a late first round pick.. dumb.

Robbie and Shaq are the only tradeable assets right now that would be addition by subtraction.

DJ Moore should not be moved unless he garners multiple first rounders and more. The Hill and Adams trade dictated that. He is both cheaper and has similar numbers to those 2.

The only way I'd move off of CMC is if some desperate to win super bowl team throws a 1 and some change for him, thats it.

Cmc for ALOT of Buffalos 2023 draft would be worth it to me (maybe Bijan slips for some reason). 
 

Trading Moore in any capacity makes zero sense to me. Dudes 25, under affordable team control for the next 3 years, and hasn’t seen his best days yet.

I'm willing to trade anybody. They haven't helped us win to this point. Let them go win somewhere and get what you can for them. 

[Waldo]

Meh any cap offset and additional picks of decent value should be on the table. I just fear too many crappy deals leave our hands tied on the guys we should be liquidating. 

[GoobyPls]

We are not trading either, Moore is young and Mccaffrey still has some mileage. Good for a young QB to have weapons, easier to win with that rookie contract

[WUnderhill]

Holy crap I’d trade Mccaffrey for a 1st round pick yesterday! Y’all have lost it

He’s going to be super valuable run into the ground in 2 years as a RB going on 30 in the NFL lol. His highest value is to a team ready to win now. We are not.

True, and in that order.  One or both will likely be cap casualties next year.

[Untouchable]

You get at it a bit, because it has to be the right price but I disagree.  Ekwonu, Horn, Burns and maybe Moton are the only players I wouldn't move.

Nobody is trading a 1st for an aging injury prone running back. Even if its Christian McCaffrey. Dont let our love for players inflate what they're worth to other teams. If we can get a 2nd from Buffalo for CMac.... Its a steal. 

There's already rumors that CMC and Robbie are on the block. The rebuild is in full effect. The problem is that our genius GM left us with on 4 picks in next year's draft. 

CMC is great, but its a mistake to build our offense around him. The focus needs to be QB going forward.

So in 2 years he’ll be 28. Going on 30 maybe a slight exaggeration but not much.

thats a huge difference in NFL years. That's when players make the biggest impact and get their third contract.
