Last season, running back Christian McCaffrey was traded to the 49ers after spending 5 1/2 seasons with the Panthers.
McCaffrey was shocked to learn he was being traded to San Francisco, he recently admitted during an appearance on the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, because Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer had told the two-time Pro Bowler he would “absolutely not” be traded. McCaffrey even bought a house in Carolina because he expected to stay be a Panther “forever.”
But, six games into the 2022 season with the Panthers, McCaffrey got the call informing him that he’d be heading to the 49ers. McCaffrey admitted the first emotion he felt was “anger” when he learned of the trade.
