The Buffalo Bills are hoping the Carolina Panthers are interested in making moves after they fired their head coach.
On Monday morning, the Panthers officially fired head coach Matt Rhule after a terrible 1-4 start.

According to several reporters, the Bills and several other teams have reportedly contacted the Panthers about a trade for Christian McCaffrey not long after the Panthers fired Rhule.
A source has confirmed to me that the Bills have reached out to the Panthers about running back Christian McCaffrey.

The Panthers have already come forward to say they haven’t had any trade talks with the Bills or any other teams about McCaffrey.
The #Panthers haven't had trade talks about Christian McCaffrey with the #Bills or any other team this season, per sources. Carolina already paid most of his $8.6M salary in a bonus. Every team will be working the phones the next few weeks, but nothing in the works with CMC.
