Do-it-all star running back Christian McCaffrey has been with the Carolina Panthers since the team drafted him with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. But it looks like the former All-Pro could be on the move if the team can get the right deal.
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Panthers are “listening” to trade offers from other teams for McCaffrey.

“The Carolina Panthers are listening to other teams about a potential trade for star running back Christian McCaffrey, although a deal might not be easy to complete, league sources tell ESPN,” Schefter wrote on Saturday afternoon. “The Panthers rebuffed at least two teams’ inquiries into trading for McCaffrey last week and will continue to reject overtures they don’t consider significant offers, according to sources.”
When he’s healthy, McCaffrey has been one of the most dominant players in the NFL since entering the league in 2017. And news that he could potentially be on the move certainly got the NFL world talking on Saturday.

I'm assuming Adam doesn't mention DJ Moore here because Kanas City is moments away from trading for him. https://t.co/N3Wr1dJ1nS pic.twitter.com/W6eMBNEAsk

Landing McCaffrey will undoubtedly take a massive trade in return, and Schefter makes it clear that the Panthers aren’t going to trade their star player unless a team makes an offer they deem fair. However, the thought of a potential blockbuster trade is still exciting.
