A source close to the situation said that it's unlikely to happen without a team giving up a first-round draft pick. He accounted for 74.5% of Carolina's yards from scrimmage, the highest percentage by a player in a game this season and the second highest in a game over the last 20 seasons.
He had at least 50 rushing and 50 receiving yards in the same game 24 times, the most of any player on the team. Marshall has more with 41.
The Rams don't have a first-round pick in the foreseeable future. The San Francisco 49ers don't need a star player to make a Super Bowl run.
In California, where he made a name for himself as a Heisman Trophy candidate, and with teams capable of making a title run, he could be a good fit.
The Denver Broncos could be a good landing spot for him, since he grew up in the area. They don't have a pick in the first or second round.
There is a first-round pick for the Buffalo Bills in 2023.
Wilson isn't the first to struggle.
• Staley not apologizing for decisions
• Mariota making most of second chance
• Chase, Burrow get offense on track
• How Zappe's play affects Jones' return?
All that stuff is out of my hands. My job right now is to be the best Carolina panther I can be, and do everything I can to help my teammates.
It makes sense to trade for McCaffrey with the team at 1-5 and looking ahead to next year. Scott Fitterer would be able to continue building the roster if there were more draft picks.
The contract runs through the year 25. Teams wouldn't have a problem trading him this year because of his salary restructure. When McCaffrey has a non-guaranteed salary and a cap hit, it's a problem.
The next head coach and quarterback could use the do-it-all back to build around if they were to trade him.
The longest active streak in the NFL is for McCaffrey, who has five games in a row with 100 yards from scrimmage.
We need to make more plays and execute at the end of the day.
Staying healthy was one of the biggest issues with the team. He missed 23 games over the course of three years.
The question is whether a healthy McCaffrey would benefit the team.
With starting quarterback Baker Mayfield back in a walking boot on Sunday and his immediate availability uncertain, and with starting quarterback Sam Darnold set to come off injured reserve with an ankle injury but likely a few weeks away from being ready to play, Sunday's starting quarterback PJ Walker nursing a neck injury
DJ Moore was limited to three catches for 7 yards after being thrown out of the game late in the third quarter.
He didn't want to talk about what it's like having the offense all on him.
He just wants to win.
