The 49ers have a lot of difficult decisions to make this spring, but one shocking move they could make to free up cap space is to trade superstar running back Christian McCaffrey. The 2023 Offensive Player of the Year was hampered by injuries last season that limited him to just four games,

As for when he's expected to make a return back to the field, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch told reporters on Wednesday that he hopes the running back will be able to participate in "at least parts" of the team's offseason program, which is good news.

San Francisco general manager John Lynch would update the media about McCaffrey and say after playing just four games last season, he is “doing great.” However, there is no doubt that McCaffrey was “frustrated” with the way the year went due to such issues relating to his Achilles and then suffering from a PCL injury according to NBC Sports.
