A trade the Carolina Panthers made in March of 2023 is still haunting them.
The Panthers and Chicago Bears worked out a now-infamous deal to send Chicago's No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL draft to Carolina in exchange for receiver D.J. Moore, first and second-round picks in the 2023 draft, a first-rounder in 2024 and a second-rounder in 2025. The Panthers used the pick to select Bryce Young, benched earlier this season, with the top selection. Meanwhile, the Bears wound up with the top selection in 2024 due to the trade and selected USC quarterback Caleb Williams. The Panthers could have had him without that deal.
