49erd trading Christian McCaffrey will actually earn the club good asset but is this right time to actually trade with such good player?
Could the 49ers Improve by Trading Christian McCaffrey?
The 49ers have a costly backfield, second only to the Saints in the NFL.
This high investment in the run game was originally made to compensate for the limitations of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
However, with the emergence of Brock Purdy as a top-tier quarterback, the need for such an expensive backfield may not be necessary.
Purdy would benefit more from a strong offensive line and reliable receiving options.
Trading McCaffrey, who just won Offensive Player of the Year, could bring in valuable assets like a first-round pick while still leaving the 49ers with a solid running game featuring Mitchell, Mason, and Samuel.
