2022 NFL trade deadline: Cameron Jordan to Chiefs, Roquan Smith to Seahawks among 13 deals that make sense

Rams acquire: RB Melvin Gordon, 2023 sixth-round pickBroncos acquire: RB Cam AkersGordon was briefly shunned for his fumbling issues in Denver, while Akers is already being shopped from L.A.'s nonexistent ground game. Bills acquire: RB Antonio GibsonCommanders acquire: 2023 fourth-round pickRather than surrender multiple picks for McCaffrey, Buffalo could enhance its backfield by permitting Ron Rivera to make Brian Robinson Jr. the undisputed No. Packers acquire: WR Kendrick BournePatriots acquire: 2023 fourth-round pickBetween Bourne and Nelson Agholor, the Patriots wideouts on the fringe, the latter probably offers more of what Aaron Rodgers is desperately missing -- proven downfield speed.

Ranking NFL's seven greatest trades of all-time: Here's where Christian McCaffrey to 49ers fits on list

McCaffrey will look to follow in his father's footsteps while helping the 49ers end their Super Bowl drought. He was among Seattle's key figures during the team's Super Bowl run in 2013 and NFC championship run in 2014. San Francisco is also just three years removed from narrowly falling to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV. Like McCaffrey, Shanahan's father, Mike Shanahan, was part of the 49ers' last Super Bowl championship team. In 1992, just three years after pulling off the greatest deadline deal in league history, Dallas won the first of its three Super Bowl wins over a four-year span.

Inside Christian McCaffrey trade: GMs, execs break down deal; Panthers pitted 49ers, Rams against each other

The blockbuster trade that sent former All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey from Carolina to San Francisco involved some ole fashioned mid-week competition between the rival Niners and Los Angeles Rams. The Panthers pitted the Rams and Niners against one another as the two teams continue to battle for NFC West — and NFC, and NFL — dominance. As reported last week, the Rams and Niners were interested in McCaffrey, as were the Bills and Broncos. McCaffrey dealt with a number of injuries in the following seasons, and by February 2022 the Panthers began entertaining calls on McCaffrey. The 3-3 49ers now add McCaffrey to an offense operated by one of the best minds in football in Shanahan.
