Florida sold high and are positioned much better for the future because of it.
The Panthers went from the very best regular season team to a team that won’t make the playoffs. As a result of the trade they also traded away their only first round pick in the next three seasons (assuming they aren’t a lottery team).

So as a result of the trade they certainly got a great player, no one debates that, but the team went into a freefall with one of the biggest collapses in league history (seriously look at how many teams fall down 40 points in a single off-season while not tanking). They also have no first round picks for the foreseeable future. Whatever the Panthers did, they shouldn’t be boasted about yet lol.
