The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers have emerged as two teams "implicated" in a potential mega-trade featuring Christian McCaffrey,

according to a report that appeared Tuesday morning from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

[{"selector":"#anim-0fd573b3-ce68-409a-a837-a8699c7b5ab6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec514e87-9198-414c-aef5-d3ae1b310e30","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 194.48965%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Rams and 49ers "implicated" in possible CMC trade, according to NBC Sports EDGE's tweet on Tuesday.

[{"selector":"#anim-f25a664a-5f38-491d-89d0-47c27db0af53","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-545e4780-3810-4cbd-bfcd-bb310e6c6b50","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 160.81484%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Despite last week's allegations that the Panthers had begun McCaffrey trade negotiations, this information seems to indicate that Carolina is at least keeping their options open.

[{"selector":"#anim-6de8bd4d-b3cc-4e6b-80bb-df84767d3b48","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6355cd65-9d11-426e-9662-582915d7b9a6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 162.63889%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Given that the Los Angeles Rams, one of the teams listed in the article, appear to be moving on from running back Cam Akers, McCaffrey is definitely needed.

[{"selector":"#anim-e60136d0-3daa-46a5-8843-d537e496efa0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-833d9bdc-4364-4327-a957-366cf9f777a8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 161.23461%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Los Angeles' backup options in the absence of Akers are Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown, neither of whom is averaging more than 3.9 yards per rush this year.

[{"selector":"#anim-19b7a893-bc5f-4dc4-a044-00b4acb2ed6e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ff2be8ac-9bc2-43a0-a59f-8d4c505fabb6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 148.45680%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

After filling in for an injured Elijah Mitchell in San Francisco, Jeff Wilson Jr. has had some success for the 49ers.

[{"selector":"#anim-74cef27d-beca-450a-8e8b-9c54b0d255c6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b7e1f93-4bd8-48f9-b1c0-ad346223112f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 180.14819%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With the NFL trade deadline approaching on November 1st, Carolina will have a few weeks to make their ultimate choice on McCaffrey.
