Buffalo Bills trade for Kelvin Benjamin

About two months after the two trades mentioned on the previous slide, Brandon Beane was able to work out a trade with the team he previously worked for, the Carolina Panthers. The trade once again involved a wide receiver and this time the Bills acquired big wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin for two draft picks.

At one time, Kelvin Benjamin looked to be a promising young talent after nearly 2,000 receiving yards and 16 receiving touchdowns in his first two full seasons (he missed the entire 2015 season due to a knee injury).

The Panthers would trade Benjamin midway through the 2017 season and the former first-round pick struggled to find the same success with the Bills. In 18 games, Benjamin had only 39 receptions on 89 targets for 571 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.

It didn’t take long for the Buffalo Bills and Brandon Beane to realize they made a mistake and they cut him before the end of the 2018 season.
