The #49ers go all-in, getting it done for one of the elite talents in the NFL.
The #Panthers load up on draft picks, preparing for a potential QB move in this coming draft. They have the chips. https://t.co/dBNBLq3Oqt— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 21, 2022
The #49ers owe Christian McCaffrey just $690,000 for the remainder of the 2022 season. He's on the books for $12 million in 2023, $12M in 2024 and $12.2M in 2025, with just $1M guaranteed for injury.

The 49ers haven’t had a 1,000 yard rusher since Frank Gore in 2014.

With McCaffrey trade, Panthers continue rebuild while 49ers get a premier back at $1M salary in ‘22, thanks to contract restructure. Next year ($11.8M) gets more tricky.

Meaning that Christian McCaffrey’s last game with the Panthers came against the Rams…and his first game for the 49ers very well could come against the Rams. https://t.co/YjlvL5Mxta
