The San Francisco 49ers traded for Pro Bowl running back Christian McCaffrey late Thursday night, according to multiple sources.
The Carolina Panthers will receive second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-round picks for McCaffrey, who was on the team since his rookie season in 2017.
This acquisition is huge for the 49ers. The San Fran offense led by Jimmy Garoppolo makes the 49ers a serious threat to win the National Football Conference if not the Super Bowl. The quick and crafty McCaffrey will play alongside other All-Pro players on the 49ers offense such as Deebo Samuel and George Kittle now.

McCaffrey makes the San Fran offense very tough to defend. In the previous season, Deebo Samuel looked like one of the best players in the NFL as both a running back and a wide receiver. He had 98 total yards and a touchdown in the 49ers’ loss to the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Los Angeles Rams, in the NFC Championship game.
Taking the load off of Samuel to give an elite running back like McCaffrey as many carries, if not more, will make this offense seem impossible to defend.
>>>Wake me up when that happens.
Victory and moral integrity go hand in hand.>>>
I was just saying they had a good defense. I wasn’t talking morals and God.
I bet zero players live in SF.
huh?
Any given Sunday Rule........................
The commute from Marin to Santa Clara would be a bear....perhaps a community like Los Gatos would be better.
I guess. In the NFC, it looks like the East is the top division. No team in the NFC West has a winning record.
I can’t even remember the last individual athelete who I “lived vicariously through”, if you want to put it that way. Many of us more casual ‘sports fans’ tend to root for the front of the jersey (your local teams) and not the names on the back. I am in no way under the illusion that anyone who plays for the local teams isn’t perfectly happy to sign somewhere else for more $$$
I haven’t spent my own personal money on a professional sport event since the 90’s.
That does not mean, however, that I don’t follow sports at all.
The Broncos coach is a cuck! That’s there problem.
What if he’s allergic to cats?...................😜
McCaffrey has missed a lot of Panthers’ games due to injuries.
“makes the 49ers a serious threat to win the National Football Conference if not the Super Bowl”
I’m thinking this guy doesn’t really watch much football
I’m thinking this guy is delusional...................
