Benjamin To The Bills

So Rhodes takes Funchess (really?) and Waynes takes ummm .... wait don't tell me ... Ginn? ... no that's not right .... McCaffrey? ... isn't he a running back?  Ok, I give up.

I guess Cam will just throw the ball to himself. So Waynes takes Cam. There.

Isn't Benjamin the guy who said he purposely ran slow so Carolina would draft him?

Wow, don't remember a year with so many big trades happening right at the deadline. 

Viewership is plunging.  Make more trades, create interest.

Bills didn't give up a lot for a pretty good WR...

The Captain is not happy.

Panthers are 5-3; why are they selling? Was Benjamin mad? Panthers picked up his 5th year so under contract reasonably through next year, and already has 32 catches this year. As BarrNone noted, pretty good player for a 3rd round pick, certainly more appealing than Josh Gordon IMO.

They do have Bucky Hodges on their PS - maybe he'll be replacing Benjamin.

Oh, if we're dreaming about the Panthers' roster, I'll take Kawann Short...imagine him between Joseph and Griffen. Not sure we could handle his contract, but...dreaming anyway. (Should have picked him instead of Sharrif Floyd in hindsight.)

Christian McCaffrey - RB - Panthers Panthers GM Marty Hurney said on Wednesday the Kelvin Benjamin trade was executed in an effort to "clear out the box" and allow the "run game to flourish".
Considering Devin Funchess, Russell Shepard, and Curtis Samuel are now the Panthers' main receivers, the run game figures to become more prominent, and maybe Carolina will use more two-tight end sets with Ed Dickson and Greg Olsen when Olsen comes back from his ankle injury. Christian McCaffrey has been a major disappointment after being taken No. 8 overall. He's not making anyone miss as a runner as evidenced by his 1.65 yards after contact per attempt, which ranks dead last among 43 qualified running backs at Pro Football Focus. Big-bodied Benjamin was playing close to the line of scrimmage in the slot, and the Panthers want to get things spread out more. They need McCaffrey to step it up.

Seems odd to be selling at this point, but I wonder if they see the writing on the wall?  They are struggling to run the ball, their O-line is letting Cam get beat up.  I really think they know they don't have the o-line to compete.

Maybe, but..a 3rd for your 26-year-old #1 receiver?? If the Bills sent them a #1 I would get it, but this sounds like dumping. I would guess they anticipate problems extending Benjamin.

Panthers release tight end Bucky Hodges from the practice squad, sign tight end Evan Baylis (Oregon) to the practice squad.
