3rd Round Draft Selection in 2014 Draft

With this Trade the Run Heavy Carolina Panthers move Cam to KC and in return gain an elite pass rusher which means Charles Johnson will move to RE and Hardy will be spelling both of them off the bench. Carolina who still hold the #5 pick in the draft will still have options to draft a QB or deal their pick for a solid QB and pick up a late 3rd rounder to add depth at WR or find a solid O-lineman backups to develop.

Kansas City, on the other hand, had some major cap issues and lost many key players rumored to be coveted by the Carolina Panthers. KC loses many key players at key positions to free up cap space, and gaining Cam is a huge upgrade from the recently released Alex Smith. The Chiefs lose a huge pass rush threat but still have many key players to fill in for the next season while KC heals from its Cap situation.

The Chiefs aren't happy at all to see Houston go, but have to think long term.
