Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts

Carolina Panthers Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Carolina sent running back Fred Lane to Indianapolis for linebacker Spencer Reid on April 21, 2000. Reid was a reserve-level player, but he at least appeared in NFL games after the exchange. Lane tragically died on July 6, before he could play a regular-season game for the Colts. Judged strictly by realized football return, Carolina received the only on-field value, though the circumstances make this unlike an ordinary trade outcome.
