There was quite a bit of early speculation about which jersey Christian McCaffrey will wear for the 49ers. He wore No. 22 in Carolina, which is currently worn by San Francisco running back Jeff Wilson; he wore No. 5 in college, but Trey Lance has that number.

Christian McCaffrey Trade Details
The San Francisco 49ers acquired Christian McCaffrey, one of the NFL’s elite offensive stars, in exchange for their second, third and fourth-round draft picks in next year’s 2023 NFL Draft, in addition to a fifth-round pick from 2024.
Who Will Replace Christian McCaffrey?
The Panthers depth chart currently lists both D’Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard as the primary backup options at running back, which means NFL fans are likely to see some combination of the two of them from now on this season.
Foreman or Hubbard? Projecting D’onta Foreman’s Role in Carolina
D’onta Foreman has logged 12 carries to Chuba Hubbard’s six so far this season, so Foreman could have the edge over the younger Hubbard in the immediate aftermath of the Christian McCaffrey trade.
Robby Anderson Trade
This isn’t the first trade the Carolina front office has made this week, as the Panthers sent Robby Anderson to Arizona on Monday in exchange for a pair of late-round draft picks, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The trade came one day after a very visible conflict on the Carolina sidelines involving Anderson, his teammates and coaching staff.

Cam Akers Trade
Rumors are also swirling around embattled Rams running back Cam Akers, who appears to have played his snaps as a member of the Los Angeles Rams.
Perhaps Carolina could acquire a starting-caliber running back from L.A. on the cheap.
