Thielen is the only saving grace, awful group

Per Ricky The #Vikings leaked this to Schefty because talks with the #Panthers are stalled over trade comp. Vikings are hoping Carolina lowers its price. Both teams and Adam Thielen want to get this trade done #Skol #KeepPounding

KB could have been another Mike Evans. Guy was just a headcase and didn't want to be great. But the talent was there. But yes we had a former QB at WR we had a former defensive lineman at left tackle at one point on top of keeping Byron Bell for too long. There was that one preseason where Corey Brown had like 20 drops. Ted Ginn was notorious for it and nearly lost us that Giants game in 2015 over it. First overall picks have to flash even in the less than ideal circumstances. Why this is a controversial or unfair notion now is beyond me but it's always been that way.

You missed my point. Sorry for all the math.

Legette in one season (where the other top WR was Adam Thielen) 49 Receptions 497 yards 4 TDs Mingo in two seasons (with Diontae Johnson and eventually CeeDee Lamb as his opposite WR) 60 receptions 585 yards 0 TDs gimee XL anyday

at one point Cam Newton's WRs were Webb, Bersin, Avant, Brown, and Benjamin

Ian Thomas has the GOAT agent

Legette ain’t much better than Mingo

I get the overall sentiment as my wife is uber religious but to put it in a football context and then post that is a bit odd

God doesn't give a poo about football.

meh, that doesn't bother me. Don't know there situation. Praying that things work out to go home makes sense.

Good. Definitely earned it and should honestly be our #4 (unless we get someone better off waivers)

Have been out of pocket - pinned and OP has the updated list for now

And Nick Scott. Special teams be damned! I don't want the risk of seeing that dude out there at safety ever again. Can't tackle. Can't cover. Should be able to pick up any old cheap waiver to replace him.

The God stuff is a bit weird. They want to go to Minny but God wants AT to catch passes from Bryce. Interesting

yeah, now it's going to get awkward. The team circles pay attention to all this stuff. All the wives and girlfriends see the posts. They all talk like everyone. Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money. Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point. Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location. So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO

Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.

Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.

I think it's pretty well established on reporting the Theilen's would like to go home and get out of Carolina.....while taking as much money as they can. His wife's socials support that reporting. I mean, it's probably a game of chicken at this point. AT trying to wait out Morgan caving. But AT could just take a paycut and bounce if he really wanted to.

All the preseason depth charts are unofficial. Basically just some intern putting something together with the goal of just making sure everyone on the roster is included.

By my count, like 5.
