6'5 guy who plays like he's 5'9. Minimal effort and just not very good. Buffalo are having a weird offseason.

I dont get this at all.  Benjamin is your red zone target and a guy if one on one down field you can throw the ball up to and he can win the 50/50 balls.  Not very fast but he uses he size well.

Thats the thing though, he doesn't use his size well at all. He gets pushed off routes so easily despite having a big size advantage. Doesn't hand fight at all. Kind of like how you see Julius Thomas fail to box off much smaller defenders. According to panthers fans he regularly gives up on routes too.

Perhaps a change of scenery can spark him.

That explains why former Panthers executive Brandon Beane wanted Kelvin Benjamin. But how well can he mesh with his new teammates?

I completely understand the trade from Buffalo's side.

What I don't understand is why Carolina would trade their best WR when they're in the mix of the division still.

So it probably was a contract issue.

So which other WR on their roster is better?

I have to wonder if there was a rift between Benji and the Diva...

I was about to say the same thing. I don't get it at all. First the Dolphins give away an elite RB and now the Panthers trade away the only good WR on their roster when they are still in the playoff picture. What did this accomplish? I have no idea what the Panthers were doing. They have no run game this year and now Cam has no one to throw to.
