The Carolina Panthers have a Christian McCaffrey conundrum—one that can be fixed by the oft-injured back finally staying healthy or the team dumping off his hefty contract elsewhere. So if the answer is ultimately the latter of the two, how may that solution look?
Founder and managing editor of Spotrac Mike Ginnitti has an idea of his own, involving ye ol’ faithful pipeline up to Orchard Park, N.Y. On “The Spotrac Podcast,” he suggests the Panthers send the two-time All-Pro to the Buffalo Bills for what he considers a substantial haul of wide receiver Cole Beasley, a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick.
“It’s a lot of compensation,” Ginnitti suggests. “The reason I threw Beasley on this list is A, I believe the Bills will move on anyway. And B, I’m bringing in Christian McCaffrey to be a quasi slot receiver, because I think that’s actually where his career is headed. No matter where he is, even if he stays in Carolina. I do think that’s how you keep him healthy.”
