DARRYL JOHNSON JOINS CAROLINA

The Carolina Panthers acquired defensive end Darryl Johnson from the Buffalo Bills for a sixth-round draft pick in 2022.

What does it give the Carolina Panthers
Johnson is only 24 years old, so there is time for him to develop into a quality pass rusher in Carolina. Look for him to serve a backup role at defensive end in '21.

What does it give the Buffalo Bills
The Bills had a surplus at defensive end going into 2021, so they were able to move out one of their depth players at the position in exchange for a sixth-rounder.

Fantasy impact
There is no immediate fantasy impact here, as Johnson is not expected to see enough snaps to become a factor along Carolina's defense. That said, keep an eye on him for the future.
