Conflicting reports emerge as to potential Bills-Panthers trade talks for Christian McCaffrey

With the Panthers apparently hitting the reset button, and with the Bills reportedly having past interest in running back Christian McCaffrey, reports are emerging that the Bills and Panthers have spoken about McCaffrey.
And, of course, conflicting reports are emerging that they haven’t.
These things happen from time to time in the NFL. Whether it’s a plausible deniability or technically the truth or a flat-out lie, there are reasons for teams to tell reporters that nothing is happening, even if something is.
The Panthers obviously won’t want to undermine their relationship with McCaffrey prematurely. The Bills may not want to make waves in their own locker room, if for some reason it doesn’t happen.
That doesn’t mean it won’t. How many times has a team publicly denied interest in trading a player before inevitably trading him?
That’s the game. That’s how it often goes.
There’s reason to keep an eye on a potential deal that would send McCaffrey to Buffalo. G.M. Brandon Beane was with the Panthers when McCaffrey became the eighth overall pick, getting the Buffalo job after the 2017 draft. And the Bills would benefit tremendously from McCaffrey’s presence, as they try to get to the Super Bowl for the first time in 29 years and win it for the first time ever.
The question becomes McCaffrey’s salary beyond 2022. Would the Bills re-do the deal now? Would McCaffrey have his contract shortened? What would the Panthers want to move on from McCaffrey?
Regardless of the specific terms of whatever is being reported, it makes sense for the Panthers to move on from McCaffrey — and it makes sense for the Bills to want him. It also makes sense for the two sides to at least talk about the possibility, and to deny doing so.
Last year, the Bills resisted making all-in moves during the season. The Rams didn’t, and the Rams won the Super Bowl thanks in part to trading for Von Miller and signing Odell Beckham Jr. Adding McCaffrey could be exactly what the Bills need to finally deliver a long-coveted Lombardi Trophy to Western New York.
Why not at least make the phone call and see if a deal can be struck? Regardless of whatever the powers-that-be tell reporters between now and the November 1 trade deadline, it would be foolish for the conversation to not occur.

I can see Washington fans complaining about similar issues, but they are the noveau riche of bad franchise fans. Lion fans are the old guard.
If Pittsburgh fans are complaining, they can STFU. Get back to us when you have decade of bad seasons.Comment

When things are going bad, fans will complain. That's to be expected.
The questions are "what are they complaining about?" and "are those complaints valid?"
At least here in Motown, the two major points of contention seem to be, "Dan Campbell" (which is valid; his calls and game management rather demonstrably directly led to losses) and "Hutch" (which is a lot less valid; driven by raw emotion and unreasonable expectations).Comment

Guy Adams pushed is pressing charges, says he was injured, and required medical treatment. TMZ says the injuries are not life threatening.
Seems incredibly dramatized from what I saw in the video.Comment

Ya idk, he could be milking it. There could also be a broken hand or something. If he's not milking it I think he's well within his rights to press charges.Originally posted by kreton View Post

The question is: Does anyone or specifically the league (in terms of calls) GAF? Everyone can speak on distinctions but I doubt anyone cares.Originally posted by chemiclord View PostTrickalicious - I don't think it is fair that the division rivals get to play the Lions twice.

The league is only gonna care if it's long term and losing money.Comment

The refs are who they are. The league COULD (hypothetically) do a lot to improve that, but why? They have a captive audience, and I'm not sure how better officiating would bring more people in.Originally posted by Futureshock View Post
But let's also accept there is a degree where officiating isn't going to improve drastically. Like for example, reputation calls and homecooking (which is the source of most fan's ire). A lot of those are psychological issues that I'm not even convinced AIs making the decisions would help much (because people program AIs, and thus AIs will inevitably reflect their biases). Someone like Aaron Rodgers is going to get the benefit of the doubt no matter who is wearing the striped shirt. The question is a matter of blunting that, and you're simply not going to find a consensus on how best to do so.Comment

The latest Jerome Boger call was nonsense.Comment

Boger wasn't the ref that called an equally ridiculous roughing the passer call last night against Kansas City.
Or the ref that decided Okudah getting pushed to the turf was Defensive Pass Interference.Comment
