Panthers related? Maybe. My question is, what would you give up for him and how disappointed would they have to be to take something for him? He's a return wizard, a big and fast WR that simply hasn't grasped their O after being in 4 systems in 4 years. While he may not be a rocket scientist, he's only 23 and a Rock Hill native. He and KB would be otherworldly. Too good to be true in all likelihood but a man can dream.

Um, he's only been there since 2013. With a fully guaranteed contract. They ain't giving him up.

2011 Hutchinson CC

2012 Tennessee

2013 Minnesota

2014 Minnesota (new OC)

Meh. Most people don't count the college systems when talking about how many systems you've been in.

Besides, he's a special teams player. That's what he does. He's like Devin Hester.

They would give him up for the right price perhaps (probably a first round pick, or two).  Maybe they'll see him as the Trent Richardson of wide receivers. It's a long shot, I know.

 

Edit: BTW, I would not co-sign a move like that at all.

He was considered raw coming out, he's had QB changes to deal with and poor QB play on top of that. I personally love the explosiveness in his game.

Like you mentioned he's obviously still on his rookie deal, he's dropped to #4 on their depth chart but still only 23. No way the Vikings don't hang onto him for atleast another year.

It's just hard for me to imagine an All-Pro player getting pushed to the side after a disappointing sophomore season.

First round pick or two?

 

lol no thanks. Can't go dealing first rounders willy nilly for a mediocre WR.

 

Yeah, you got that in before my edit.  I want a receiver that can get separation and knows how to run some routes.  It would appear that Patterson isn't that guy, and I am in no mood for a project that costs an arm and a leg.

    • They won my vote of confidence for this year
    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
