The Facts: Carolina hopes he turns an injury corner, but McCaffrey is still young enough (25) and affordable enough ($8.4 million salary in 2022) to garner trade interest. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, it would be a surprise if a few teams don't call in the coming months.
Diehards Line:
A brilliant player when in the lineup, McCaffrey essentially earned $30 million for just 10 games of action. That's a tough reality for the Panthers, who know they are a different team when he's on the field. We'll be watching for more on this possibility in coming weeks.
