Buffalo Bills Win
Buffalo BillsB-
Carolina PanthersC+
Buffalo Bills received
Kaelin Clay
2019 7th round pick (228th overall, Tommy Sweeney)
Carolina Panthers received
Kevon Seymour
Carolina acquired cornerback Kevon Seymour from Buffalo for receiver Kaelin Clay and a 2019 seventh-round pick. Seymour gave the Panthers useful secondary depth, appearing in 29 games over two seasons and making several starts. Buffalo quickly moved on from Clay, who was reclaimed by Carolina, but kept the future pick and eventually selected tight end Tommy Sweeney at No. 228. The pick's multi-year roster value gives Buffalo a narrow edge.
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.
2021 7th round pick (236th overall, Jack Anderson)
Carolina Panthers received
Marshall Newhouse
Buffalo sent veteran tackle Marshall Newhouse to Carolina for a future conditional seventh-round pick that became No. 236 in 2021. The Bills eventually used that selection on Jack Anderson, but he did not become a meaningful Buffalo regular-season contributor. Newhouse gave Carolina immediate offensive-line insurance during an injury-hit season, so the Panthers received slightly more realized value.
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.
2022 6th round pick (185th overall, Christian Benford)
Carolina Panthers received
Darryl Johnson
Carolina acquired defensive end Darryl Johnson from Buffalo for a 2022 sixth-round pick, hoping to add size and special-teams help before the 2021 season. Buffalo used that selection at No. 185 on cornerback Christian Benford. Benford developed into a starting-caliber defensive back and later earned a four-year extension, turning a depth-player sale into a major long-term return for the Bills.
Carolina moved from No. 33 to No. 32 for Xavier Legette and also received No. 200, used on Jaden Crumedy. Buffalo took Keon Coleman at No. 33 and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger at No. 141. Coleman has 960 receiving yards and eight touchdowns through two seasons, slightly outproducing Legette’s 860 yards and seven scores, while Van Pran-Granger has provided useful line depth and Crumedy was waived in 2025.
