Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Carolina sold Kelvin Benjamin at the right moment, sending the former first-round receiver to Buffalo for 2018 third- and seventh-round picks. Benjamin never regained his early Carolina production and was released by Buffalo the following season. The Panthers turned a declining veteran into two draft assets, later using those selections on Rashaan Gaulden and Andre Smith, and avoided carrying the receiver through the rest of his downturn.
Trade 2 of 2
Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers completed this transaction on 2020-08-31, with Buffalo Bills receiving Andre Smith and Carolina Panthers receiving a conditional 2023 pick (7th round and not conveyed). The cited historical sources support the basic exchange and its compensation. In hindsight, Buffalo Bills gets the better grade because its return produced the clearer practical value from this modest exchange.
