The Carolina Panthers have completed a sensational trade with the Chicago Bears for the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Panthers are in the market for a quarterback after struggling with the likes of Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold and P.J. Walker in 2022 as the franchise laboured to a 7-10 record. The trade with the Bears reportedly is in exchange for big-time compensation including multiple 1st rounders, with Chicago receiving the ninth pick in next month's draft.
It was not just the ninth pick; the Panthers have sent the ninth overall pick, the 61st overall pick, a first-round selection in 2024, a second-round selection in 2025 and star receiver DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears. In exchange, Carolina receive the 1st overall pick from the Bears.
