Moon, ya been around a long time. Much appreciation for that.
My personal preferences as a result of experience and MFN forum readings is that 40lbs is on the outside of hopefulness. That stated, my experiences have shown that once positive progress is made, it will continue post position change.
It seems to me that positive progress post TC holds true after any and multiple position changes over a player's career.
Cap permitting, do not be afraid to experiment, as I've had success with such weight gain, too.
I usually try to step a player through position weights.
EG: I traded for a positive progressing TE that was a high rated short snap only center. Moved from TE to C. Upon said player achieving C weight, I've moved him to LG. Since that player's spd/acc is in the 80's at 288lbs
(-3 spd/acc "pts" per 8-10 lbs gained, converse is true), and being a strong believer in, big, bad, strong fat boys for my oline with high ACC, i'll eventually move him to RG (pulls matter - override them).
Unless his progress levels off.
60 lbs of difference, from what I have read, reaches the rarest levels of weight gain/loss for any player. I'm pushing this dude, for sure. to hit 316 RG WT from 257 TE WT.
I won't be surprised if he stays at LG (WT:308; +51 from draft weight with 20lbs to gain). ****, I might have to move him back to C if his progress levels off.
If one can afford the cap risk for a failed position change, by all means I encourage it.
If one is considering a position change, that player was drafted with intention upon an + TC progression, or a converted failure (WR to RB, LB to DE).
Every failed 85 spd WR drafted is just another backup RB gained lol.
Good luck - if your team can afford the cap hit fail, by all means have fun with position changes!
