CJ Henderson reportedly being traded by Jacksonville Jaguars
CJ Henderson has been unhappy in Jacksonville this offseason, and now it seems he’s going to have a new squad.
The former Florida Gator was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but now he’s already reportedly on the move.
Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Henderson is heading to the Carolina Panthers (along with a fifth-round pick) in exchange for TE Dan Arnold and a third-round pick:
Trade! The #Panthers are closing in on a trade for CB CJ Henderson, sources say.
The details: CAR TE Dan Arnold and a third-round pick to the #Jaguars for the former Jax first-round pick Henderson and a fifth-rounder. Immediate help in Carolina, while Henderson starts new.

That doesn’t seem like much in return for a recent top-10 pick, but it’s clear Henderson and the Jaguars are ready to move on.
If he’s motivated with the Panthers, this could end up being a great trade for Carolina.
