4 star players the Panthers could acquire for Christian McCaffrey

Marcus Peters could be part of a Christian McCaffrey trade
Would the Baltimore Ravens part ways with Marcus Peters and a first-round pick for Christian McCaffrey?
If so, the deal should be done quickly.
It is a trade that would give the Carolina Panthers another shot at a first-round pick and a great cornerback in Peters with Stephon Gilmore and Donte Jackson both likely to test the free-agent market after neither was given the franchise tag.
Despite his recent struggles with injuries, Peters is still capable of impacting the game at a high level and would be a great addition to a solid Carolina defense. For Baltimore, this trade makes a lot of sense when you consider that Lamar Jackson hasn’t had a No. 1 target or a security blanket of this caliber to lean on during his career so far.
As great as Mark Andrews has been, he isn’t McCaffrey. A player who can take over an offense and is capable of making a game-changing play at any moment.
Peters isn’t a player that is near the top of Carolina’s wish list considering their depth in the secondary even if Jackson and Gilmore walk. However, the move makes far too much sense for both sides not to consider.
A strength for Carolina gets even stronger and they will also have the opportunity to improve the offense with another first-round selection. As for the Ravens, it gives Jackson an elite dual-threat weapon to help him navigate a division that could prove to be the toughest in football.
