This moment has yet to live up to its full potential but trading for Kelvin Benjamin is still a great move for the Bills.

The Bills wide receiver core is still lackluster regardless of the fact they made the playoffs. But this move showed the fans that the Bills were 100% going for it.

They moved around nothing more than draft picks and got a Pro Bowl receiver.

Benjamin struggled with a knee injury pretty much his entire tenure in Buffalo this year but he still had a presence felt on the field.

This trade was a great moment for the Bills and taught me to trust the process.

Oh, the Bills have him locked up beyond 2017 too.  All but cementing how this move might very well pay off even more.

KB never put up the immediate numbers this year in Buffalo.

However, he was a constant top target for Tyrod Taylor. Taylor constantly looked for KB if there was nothing downfield.

Oh, by the way, KB has a very odd chemistry with Nate Peterman. Kelvin is the only player on the Bills who might have caught more passes from Peterman than the Chargers did.

All jokes aside, even with a torn meniscus, Benjamin was and is an asset to the team.
