Fact is another team will pay him more. Would rather see if there is trade value than pay. We have much bigger holes. The draft is chalk full of WR talent all over the place.

Can't trade him now. And I don't see any other teams offering a lot. What has he shown that screams "big deal in FA?"

Didn’t say anyone would offer a lot. And I didn’t say anything about a big deal. All I said was another team would pay him more. 1. Because there are plenty of teams more desperate than the Panthers at WR and 2. The panthers have offensive weapons that already have what Samuel does, he is a commodity on this team. That is, granted, in if they plan to keep what they have if Moore/CMC/Anderson.

If no team offers a lot, we'll just keep him. We have the cap space and clearly see his value in this offense. No other player on the team right now can fill in Samuel's role. Sure, DJ or McC have similar abilities, but we're not going to use superstar players in a swiss army knife role. They are WR1 and RB1. Nobody else on the roster could do what Samuel does.

Regardless of what we think he’d have to be ok with a 3rd string wr salary, and see that no other team offers him more than that. Both in playing time and salary. But I believe a team will offer him more than that.

I would be all about resigning him but as I said I would not be about outbidding another team for him given our current holes and needs.

Here the thing. I have always believed samuel is a lot better than what we have him reduced to. A lot of people have him limited to a number 3.. but I think its possible he's better than Moore. He gets open more consistently and has been under utilized by bad coaching(Shula and ron) and limited offensive creativity. Not to mention qb play that hasn't been able to hit him in stride at what he does best. The deep ball.

      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.
