Panthers make list of worst NFL trade deadline deals in history
Summary

Yahoo Sports highlights seven particularly poor NFL trade deadline deals in history, including notable trades from the last decade. Among the trades, the Panthers dealt Kelvin Benjamin to the Bills in 2017, which saw Benjamin struggle in Buffalo after showing promise with Carolina. The 2024 trade sending Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys is also featured, as he has not lived up to expectations since his rookie season. Two other trades involving Diontae Johnson left teams dissatisfied shortly after the transactions. The piece underscores how high-pressure trades can lead to significant misjudgments by franchises.
