Carolina Panthers received
2007 1st round pick (25th overall, Jon Beason), 2007 2nd round pick (59th overall, Ryan Kalil) and 2007 5th round pick (164th overall, Tim Shaw)
Carolina sent the 14th pick to the Jets and received Nos. 25, 59 and 164, turning the package into Jon Beason, Ryan Kalil and Tim Shaw. The Jets used No. 14 on Darrelle Revis, who became a Hall of Fame cornerback and one of the defining defenders of his era. Carolina simultaneously landed two multi-time Pro Bowl starters, making this a rare draft-day exchange in which both teams won big.
2008 3rd round pick (67th overall, Charles Godfrey)
2008 5th round pick (141st overall, Gary Barnidge)
New York Jets received
Kris Jenkins
Carolina traded defensive tackle Kris Jenkins to the Jets for picks No. 67 and No. 141, selecting Charles Godfrey and Gary Barnidge. Jenkins delivered a dominant 2008 season in New York, earning Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors, but knee injuries sharply shortened his later Jets impact. Godfrey became a long-term Panthers starter and Barnidge provided additional depth. The Jets won the peak; Carolina won the longevity, producing a balanced exchange.
The Jets moved up from No. 124 to No. 112 for running back Joe McKnight, sending Carolina an additional sixth-round pick. McKnight became an elite kickoff returner, topping 1,000 return yards in both 2011 and 2012 and scoring a return touchdown each season. Carolina selected Eric Norwood and David Gettis; Gettis produced 508 receiving yards as a rookie, but the combined return was too brief to surpass McKnight's special-teams impact.
2022 2nd round pick (38th overall subsequently traded, Arnold Ebiketie)
2022 4th round pick (111th overall, Max Mitchell)
Carolina acquired quarterback Sam Darnold from the Jets for a 2021 sixth-round pick plus second- and fourth-round selections in 2022. The Panthers also exercised Darnold's fifth-year option, increasing the commitment to a quarterback who never became their long-term answer. New York converted a player it was replacing into substantial draft capital, including a premium second-rounder, making the Jets the decisive winner.
Carolina traded the 65th pick to the Jets for Nos. 72 and 157, then selected Trevin Wallace and Chau Smith-Wade while New York used No. 65 on Malachi Corley. Wallace and Smith-Wade developed into regular defensive contributors, combining for substantial 2025 playing time and production, while Corley's Jets tenure never gained traction. The Panthers received two useful defenders from one traded selection, creating a clear value edge.
