Or because no one else wants him because he's 40.

He's younger than Dez but OK. I can tell you for certain I would have much rather spent money on Torry Smith last offseason instead of captain fuging munnerlyn(whos even older lol). but hey, family first right?!

I'd love Torrey Smith here. Been wanting him for ages now. Maybe he'll come to Carolina now that he has a ring. 

The Eagles will most likely release him so he will be free to go wherever he wants and I imagine he would be cheap. Think they can save about $5M in cap space by doing so and he wasn't used much last year. He had one or no catches in half of the games last year so not sure what he has left in the tank. 

If I had to guess, he will most likely return to Baltimore for one last go if it works for both parties. That's his "home" and where he wants to be and he won't be playing much longer.

One was the number 1 wr all season the other assumed that role at the midway point. If funchess would've been the main option his numbers would be better than Dez's

Funchess was the the number 1 target all season, even when KB was in Carolina

My big question with him was whether he just wasn't recovered from his prior year's injury or if he's genuinely done.

It's an extremely difficult thing to discern the difference between those two conditions.

He is 29 y.o.  Hardly washed up.  I think you have to take into consideration that his numbers fell off when Dak took over.   Not a coincidence. Same as Smitty numbers dropping when Cam took over.  Just didn't work.  Didn't mean Smitty was washed up.   He went to Baltimore and resumed his terror on the league.

 

Exactly. Don't judge a receiver by the numbers he put up playing with a below-average QB.

The question is.  Will he have chemistry in Turner's offense with Cam?

I think so.

 

Cole Beasley had career numbers when Dak took over. But I've already broke down why this is and it's due to the fact that Dez is rarely "open" anymore.

And this past season Dez got the same percentages of targets that he got in his best two seasons with Romo. He just isn't producing

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
