LOVE the toxicity in Seattle now.  Not unexpected but still love.

He’s attainable.  It’s that simple.  For a price of course.  But very attainable.

Yeah I think he is attainable but at what price.   Are we willing to bite?  Do we have $$$ to pay him?  Will he fit in our defense?  

I personally think he would help our defense be a top 5 defense.   He not only brings skills but he brings an attitude that our defense could use a little bit more of.

We aren't paying him $12-14 million a year. I honestly don't know what he wants, but he's scheduled to make $8.5 million and isn't happy with that, and Eric Berry makes $13 million, so I'm guessing he wants that or more.

I'm thinking it's less the yearly # and wants the extension and guarantee. Lots of unknowns for him.

Give him 4 years $32m fully guaranteed and he's yours

Maybe for Dallas. I don't see him signing with Carolina for that, primarily because I don't see Carolina offering that. We don't invest in safeties under Rivera.

I think not investing in the secondary was more of a G-Man thing than an RR thing, but yeah, regardless, we aren't going to pay him what he wants to come here.

I'd love to have him, but honestly we can't afford him and I'm not sure that investing huge money into a 29 year old safety coming off a significant injury who seems to be on the decline would be a good idea anyway. When healthy, he's still one of the best in the league, but I think his best days are definitely behind him. He peaked around '13/'14 and hasn't been the same since.

He was first and second team All-Pro last year

Has one super bowl win ever created more arrogance than Seattle's? The whole team turned from potential dynasty to a bunch of self-absorbed egotists almost overnight. 

I live out here and it was like that way before their Super Bowl win. Since then it's only gotten so much worse.

      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.
