There has been speculation that the Panthers are planning to trade star running back Christian McCaffrey and on Monday, the Panthers organization addressed the subject upfront. General manager Scott Fitterer laid those rumors to bed but was clear he will always take calls regarding trade inquisitions.
“I would love for him to be here but I would never not take a call,” he told reporters. “If somebody calls and offers something crazy, yeah, you would look at it but there is no intentions right now of trading Christian McCaffrey.”
Coach Matt Rhule echoed the sentiment and went as far as to say he “fully expects” that the 25-year-old tailback will be in a Panthers uniform next season, according to NFL Network.
