Cardinals Acquire Robbie Anderson From Panthers, per Report

The Arizona Cardinals reportedly have a new wide receiver.

On Monday, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported the Cardinals had acquired Carolina Panthers WR Robbie Anderson via trade.

The compensation is unknown at this time.

Carolina had shopped Robbie Anderson recently, and all parties appeared on the same page. But rather than have to release him after yesterday, the #Panthers were able to deal him to Arizona. https://t.co/jlarObdjJC

The trade comes just one day after Cardinals WR Marquise Brown suffered an unknown injury during the team;s 19-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. DeAndre Hopkins is also done serving his six-game suspension for PED use, too.

A split between the Panthers and Anderson seemed inevitable after Sunday's scene where Anderson was apparently kicked off Carolina's sideline after an exchange with coaches.

The Cardinals will pay Anderson the remaining balance of his season's salary, which is just under $700k.

The #Cardinals owe Robbie Anderson the remaining $690,000 prorated portion of his base salary after the trade from the #Panthers, who were looking to move Anderson as soon as Matt Rhule was fired a week ago.
