The Carolina Panthers have traded Christian McCaffery to the San Francisco 49ers, a source confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The Panthers began fielding calls on the star running back, but did want to avoid trading him – apparently they got an offer type couldn’t refuse.
In return, the Panthers received a second, third, and fourth-round pick in 2023 and a fifth-round pick in 2024, according to multiple reports.

When McCaffrey was asked about his current situation in Carolina, he said he is more focused on controlling the things he can. “Keeping that away from me. That’s out of my control. Trying to control everything I can control. Right now I’m a Carolina Panther and giving my all to this place,” McCaffrey said.
