They managed to unload his contract and that's a win in itself. The pick swaps are miniscule in value to either side. How it effects the offense is yet to be seen. My only concern is that he had the surest hands of all the receivers on the team. That's not easy to replace.

This is exactly how it should be looked at.

I was hoping we could keep him to mentor the young guys at least until the trade deadline. Still, getting some draft capital for a guy that’s gonna be gone in a year isn’t terrible.

He's going to take time. This trade gives Coker a big time chance to shine. If XL doesn't work out, that gives the Panthers Tmac, Coker and Horn Jr for 2026. If XL does workout, they hope they have a really good returner and backup slot wr.

still waiting on the story on Rhule that Charles Johnson promised

That was my point

Hope there was some fuel stabilizer rubbed on those joints.

A 5th rounder basically, and moving up some spots in 2027. And more cap to roll over. To do a solid for a guy who contemplated retirement, coming off an injury, and needing to let our young WRs play/prove themselves. Yeah, I'm not getting the hate here. Would I prefer to keep Thielen? Sure. But also....why? Bryce needs to sink or swim, take away his safety blanket. We've given you 4 young WRs with potential, go elevate them and grow together. We're still a year+ away and should be acquiring assets. If you thought we were getting a 2nd or 3rd round pick for a rental on a 35 year old WR I don't know what to tell you.

Hard to interpret something that way (even if it is accurate). Thielen knows the playbook and probably doesn't need as many reps, as say the rest of our receives who are rookies (Tet, Horn), 2nd/3rd year (XL, Coker, Tremayne), or were possible cut candidates (Renfrow, Moore). I probably wouldn't have focused as much on Thielen also when they needed a lot of info on all of the other receivers

I thought it was 10am. I'm in Kuwait so I have to subtract 7 hours. You're saying two hours means 1pm?

another thing about this is the Vikings are eating AT full salary, they wanted the Panther to eat a some of his salary. once again this is a win

Our last two 4th round picks: JT Sanders Lathan Ransom Not too shabby for a rebuilding team.

He should be, but I said this in his predraft and why i didn't want to draft him. Can't read defenses well and set line up for success, eats a lot of unnecessary sacks and pressures due to that and holding the ball too long and moving in the pocket towards the edges instead of up into the pocket.

I think we wanted AT back until we got past the draft and camp. Wasn't expecting to get what we got in the draft, and prolly wasnt expecting tremayne to look as good as he did to them this off-season.

I hope he pans out I just didn't see anything out of him during preseason and it seemed like all the talk about him looking good on camp pretty much evaporated once the pads went on.

My thought exactly. We basically got a 4th for a one year rental when we aren’t a playoff contender. If we can’t overcome the loss with the young guys then we have big issues. We’ve invested 4 1sts (3 top 10), 2 2nds, DJ Moore into $150M in OL FAs into this passing game. That’s 90% of our draft and FA capital into Young. We damn well better be fine without AT or we are ways away from competing.

Pick swap and a 4th round pick. I mean that's best case scenario. Now we can move on. I'm eager to see Canales develop this young WR core.

No good deed goes unpunished. We should have let him retire. We lose out on the pick but we would have had some extra spending money in the offseason.

Meh, i have always been indifferent on the trade if it happened, we got good compensation for a 35 year old possession savvy type WR. Glad we didn't have to eat any of it. I highly doubt we will regret it. If Bryce still looks bad, AT wasn't gonna change that. Sorry. Good luck to the man in MIN, he was likely gonna sign there after this year to retire or something like that anyways.

thats the simplest answer especially since there was a rumor he was working out with JJ mccarthy and crew He had the "I didnt sign up for this" moment before and you have to think he can tell a difference between a good team and bad team all things considered. Just think its shitty after we gave him a hefty raise

Person (so take it with a grain of salt) claimed AT was already being phased out of the offense based on camp.

Dan what the fug man. this is garbage

Our third year QB should be doing that now. Sure there will be growing pains but how are the young guys supposed to get better if their dad keeps doing all the work for them. Cam had no issues lining up the offense or with protections by his third year, it’s time to let Bryce leave the nest and see what he’s got in regards to commanding the offense.

They are really, really high on Horn Jr. They spent a draft pick on him to be a returner/slot wr.

Something changed in between when he signed the deal for this year and the present. I don't think it's a huge leap of faith to say he's not particularly excited about this season for the Panthers.
