The Carolina Panthers agreed to trade their star running back, Christian McCaffrey, to the San Fransisco 49ers on Thursday evening.

In return the Panthers will receive the following picks: 2nd, 3rd, 4th round picks for 2023, and a 5th round pick in 2024.

Full terms:

Massive.

This trade could have major impacts with the 49ers offense. A healthy McCaffrey will add another weapon for the 49ers that already include Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk.

This trade should also really help out Jimmy Garoppolo. McCaffrey will provide Jimmy G with another reliable pass catcher. We expect Garoppolo’s fantasy value to greatly increase.

Here is a message to the Panthers fans from McCaffrey:

I’m forever grateful for all of the people who have helped make these past 5 1/2 years so special for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Carolina, I will always love you💙#KeepPounding pic.twitter.com/0rBS8Ajhgy
