Kelvin Benjamin Officially Clears Waivers, Now Free Agent

On Wednesday, former Panthers and Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin officially passed through waivers unclaimed and is now a free agent, according to Adam Schefter.

Benjamin, 27, is a former first-round pick of the Panthers back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $7.66 million contract that includes $6.19 million guaranteed when the Panthers picked up his fifth-year option last year.

Carolina elected to trade Benjamin to the Bills third- and seventh-round picks last year. However, Buffalo waived him on Tuesday.

In 2018, Benjamin has appeared in 12 games for the Bills and caught 23 passes for 354 yards receiving and one touchdown.
