A week ago today, the Buffalo Bills made a last-minute blockbuster trade for star wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin. The Bills traded their own third-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, along with the conditional 2019 seventh-round pick they received from the Chargers. The fascinating part is the wheeling and dealing that got us to this point.
In the Ronald Darby trade, the Philadelphia Eagles sent the Bills Jordan Matthews and a third-round pick, while in the Cardale Jones trade, the Chargers sent the Bills a seventh-round pick. Essentially, the Bills traded Ronald Darby and Cardale Jones for Kelvin Benjamin and Jordan Matthews.
