Send Jordan James and 2027 R1 Mid (own pick) to @BigSaddles for Christian McCaffrey.
Why this one: You asked for contender deals, so this ranking leads on lineup points and projected wins. @BigSaddles are rebuilding, so the pieces they would move are the ones with a shelf life. Your lineup is short at RB, about 3.3 points a week behind, and this deal lands there.

Your starting lineup gains +10.2 points a week at RB. Against your remaining schedule that is worth about 1.30 projected wins. You give up 144 points of trade value to do it.
@BigSaddles reads as a rebuilder, and this hands them 1 more draft pick for a season they are not winning. They finish 144 points of value ahead.
The message
What do you think of me sending you Jordan James and 2027 R1 Mid (own pick), and you sending back Christian McCaffrey? It gets you 1 more draft pick for a season you are not chasing. On value it is close to even both ways.
