Andre Smith

Andre Smith played 31 games on defense and special teams for Carolina before being traded to Buffalo. The conditional seventh was never conveyed

The Kelvin Benjamin trade became a clear sell-high win for Carolina. The Panthers sent Benjamin to Buffalo for a third-round pick and a seventh-round pick, moving off a receiver whose value was already slipping. Benjamin caught only 16 passes in eight games for Buffalo in 2017 and never became the difference-maker the Bills needed. It remains a priority indexing page because the Benjamin-to-Buffalo deal is a clear deadline-trade cautionary tale.
