They didn't. Dan is paying 3 million AND 6th and Johnson. 

Johnson is now a min salary on ravens cap. 

total BS trade, its like Morgan is working for the ravens.

[Krovvy]

So, we basically lost our second-best cornerback to move up maybe 15 spots in the 6th round.

Yikes. Diontae had number one potential and losing Donte Jackson definitely hasn't helped our defense.

Players given up in trades the last few years:
RB Christian McCaffrey
WR D.J. Moore
DE Brian Burns
WR Diontae Johnson

Value received in return:
none

This should be stickied and remembered until we start hitting on our picks. We have basically gave all our talent away for nothing in return because we suck at drafting.

Yeah, this is a trash trade. This signals the Panthers want the first overall pick this year bad.

Cam Ward?

I'm so salty. The one trade we made in years to acquire Diontae I was excited about and it paid off.

Then we just completely erase it to do a favor for the Ravens?

That is main issue, not tepper, panthers are simply the worst drafting team of the last 5 years. 

So even if you gain more picks, you still fail cause you simply can not draft even ok players.

Someone said we are paying his bonus so it rolls 4 million in cap to 2025. 
 

This is why you can’t react to trade parameters until the dust settles and all the details come out. Its never cut and dry trade x for y.

The only reason a Panthers fan should have hope is maybe one of the young guys will be good enough to get traded out of here for a Day 3 pick in two years.

Ward would be a good pick. Morgan has no interest and Tepper wouldn't want him.

We sucked at drafting with Rhule Fitterer and so far Morgan too. One common thread remains. Tepper is involved and hands on in the process. Why else keep the scouts through all this league worst suck?

[Joe Bear]

Well, maybe next year's GM/coach combination will be better. "Coach of the Year" used to be an award. Now it's just the job title in Charlotte.

Im fuging pissed too, this benefits 99.9% ravens and .1%

If he's cut and some team signs him for couple million/whatever's, that would at least helped cap space. Butttttt nope, lets help the ravens for whatever reasons....They already had 11 picks, if they couldn't part with 5th or 6th. Just cut him, it makes more sense. They only gained like 10 late round spots for 3million and Johnson. 

How the fug is only option or best option???

[Krovvy]

This is clearly a "Bryce is done in Carolina" move if I've ever seen one.

Trading Diontae for a fourth or more (what he's worth at the least) would be acquiring assets as we're in a hard place. However, trading him for absolutely nothing of value while you have half a season left with a floundering rookie quarterback? Yeah, they're done with Bryce.

If Diontae is healthy, and plays up to his potential, he's a number one receiver.
