Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers
Carolina Panthers Win Tier: landmark
Confidence: high
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.
Carolina Panthers acquired a conditional 2023 pick (7th round; not conveyed) from Buffalo Bills for Andre Smith. The overall result favors Buffalo Bills over Carolina Panthers.
