For the last three and a half seasons, Kelvin Benjamin has been Cam Newton’s No. 1 wide receiver.

On Tuesday afternoon, right before the NFL trade deadline’s proverbial stroke of midnight, the Carolina Panthers traded Benjamin to the Buffalo Bills for a pair of picks in next year’s NFL draft.

The news came as a shock and while general manager Marty Hurney had legitimate football and financial reasons, he’s getting raked over the coals by many angry fans on social media. Panthers superfan and NBA MVP Stephen Curry went so far as to call the trade madness. It sounds like many players on the team were also upset by news of the trade.

As for the team’s franchise quarterback, Newton didn’t share a disappointed-face emoji or explicitly criticize the front office. Instead, he posted a tribute to his former teammate.

It’s never easy to tell exactly what Newton writes on his Instagram page, but it appears he wrote this message, along with a few of his favorite hashtags.

Somethings you will never understand! Damn I miss my dogs!
