The Carolina Panthers could be looking to make a move in the backfield, with reports coming out Saturday that the franchise is entertaining trade offers for star running back Christian McCaffrey. 

Will Christian McCaffrey be moved by Panthers, and has Cam Akers played his last game in LA for Rams? | FOX NFL Sunday

Jay Glazer discusses whether or not Christain McCaffrey will be on the move after a bad start to the season by the Carolina Panthers and has Cam Akers played his last game for the Los Angeles Rams. Also Dak Prescott has started throwing and looks to be getting closer to returning for the Dallas Cowboys.

According to ESPN, Carolina turned down two offers for McCaffrey this past week, but will continue to listen to realistic offers for the former Pro Bowler.

McCaffrey — also a former first-team All-Pro performer — has spent his entire six-year career in Carolina, appearing in every game for the Panthers during the first three years of his career. In those 48 appearances, McCaffrey racked up 2,920 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns on 623 carries, as well as 2,523 receiving yards and 15 TDs on 303 catches, quickly becoming one of the top dual-threat offensive weapons in the NFL.

However, McCaffrey has been plagued by injuries over the past two seasons and change, appearing in just 10 games total in 2020 and 2021, as he battled ankle and hamstring injuries. 

In April of 2020, McCaffrey signed a four-year, $64 million extension with the Panthers, which was the richest contract for a running back in NFL history at the time. 

Since 2020, McCaffrey has tallied 11 total touchdowns in 15 games.

In five games this season, McCaffrey has amassed 324 yards on 72 carries and 188 receiving yards on 26 receptions. He has two rushing scores and one receiving score.

The Panthers currently sit in last in the NFC South at 1-4.

This is a developing story.
