I think that we should try to resign Hardy to a cap friendly deal. I know we're probably a little hesitate to because he hasn't been disciplined by the NFL yet, but even when he does get disciplined, I'd say, what 6 games at the most but probably 3. I'd keep Hardy, but then again, I would've played him last season.

I agree that Ealy started to get it the last few games.

 

As far as fixing the pass rush, it's all about value.  KK is a good interior rusher.  Star does a great job of getting blockers' attention.  CJ is still good when his legs are in good shape.  Like most athletes, when the knees or ankles are compromised, it's hard to be effective...

 

I think if there's a value pick, the Panthers will go for it.  As far as FAs, I have no idea how effective the FA pass rushers will be.  How often does a really good pass rusher just drop into FA and sign cheaply?  Also, CJ is going to have to extend or something.  It's just not good for him to count $20 million by himself against our cap.

 

I don't think our pass rush is in terrible shape, but it can get better.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts

      From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
