Trading Christian McCaffrey is a chance to fill other holes

This season showed us that there were many, many holes on the roster. The offense was one of the lowest-ranked squads in the league and this offseason might just end up being a big one in terms of changes in order to correct the faults on the Carolina Panthers.

The Panthers’ offensive line was a significant problem this year. They were listed as second to last in terms of Pro Football Focus ratings and churned out many performances that left much to be desired.

There are many teams who have good or even premier linemen that if were included in any potential trade for Christian McCaffery, could improve this critical area and even enable Carolina to enjoy more success in 2022 and possibly beyond.

When you think about it, trading your best offensive player to improve your offense sounds impractical. But the Panthers’ protection in front of whoever is under center is in dire need of reinforcements – so pulling the trigger to fix this is a discussion that needs to be had if another team comes in with a suitable offer.

As unusual as it seems, it could be the blockbuster trade to get Carolina’s offense on track for success in the coming years.
