The Atlanta Falcons have a lot less to worry about on Sunday against the 5-2 Carolina Panthers. With the playoffs easily in reach, the Panthers traded away their top wide receiver.
I have no idea what they are doing.
Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin traded to Buffalo, source tells ESPN.

This move leaves Devin Funchess (who?) as the team’s top wide receiver. Cam Newton is having a pretty unremarkable season, and he now has one less guy to make plays. After Funchess, there are literally only three wide receivers left on the roster: Curtis Samuel (rookie), Kaelin Clay, and Russell Shepard.
Well, I’m sure they got a ton in exchange.
One last big trade before the deadline: The #Bills trade for #Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin in exchange for a 3rd rounder and a 7thn rounder.

Whoops, that’s not much for a former first-rounder. I’m gonna log this in right behind paying Matt Kalil $55 million to be a terrible tackle. Sunday could be a blood bath.
