RB Christian McCaffrey, SF (5 Viewers)

[darksideofoz]

To flip him for future draft capital in the middle of the season. I don't have draft capital this year and I have plenty of cap space to also go after the young scraps in free agency after the rookie draft. I can do them both. The main reason I can't compete this year is because of my RBs and current draft capital.

Exactly why I mentioned the flip. One of the contenders might pay you with quality draft capital/young upside to win this season. You’d take on the risk CMC is still a stud (which I believe he is) until you pull the trigger. Adding a top 5 RB mid season is very attractive.

do you think around $15 sounds like a good number? I feel it is safe given the risk, possible payout and my current cap situation. I don't want to waste too much cap space as I can turn extra cap space this offseason into extra waiver bucks during the season and extra cap space next year. I've been trying to look at past seasons to get an idea of how people would bid on him, but I haven't found anything similar to him, even though I thought I would find something easily.

You know better than me if that’s a good buy low price for a 29 year old stud RB. Just don’t over pay. Not worth chasing when you are buying to flip.

I just realized that I 1. messed up replying to the guy who had replied directly to my original comment, 2. you are not that guy hehe

$15 would put him at the #5 highest RB contract ($30 is the highest). but there are a few RBs that I expect to go over that. there are a couple of restricted free agents that should go over that and Henry in regular free agency. So that would put it at about the 8th highest RB contract going into the season. I can sign him for just one year to limit my risk, and even that of the next owner. $11 would be around the 12th highest or so, but I don't think I would get him for that.
