The Texans want at least three first round picks, plus two other assets (either players or high picks).

With multiple teams interested, why should they lower their demands?

They should lower their demands if there demands are not met. There is a chance their demands will not be met at that asking price. I thought that was sort of clear.

With multiple bidders? Including several with way more trade ammunition than us?

Not likely.

If he's willing to sign off on it I fully expect it to happen. This is the type of move that could legit save Rhule's job. If it happens I'll definitely be conflicted. Elite QB? Check. But, oh man... definite baggage. Also, if it happens I'll be pissed Rhule knee jerk fired Brady because I would've liked to have seen him get a chance to work with an actual NFL QB before getting scapegoated.

The better question is why would any team want to pay this? If he had zero baggage, ok. But with 10 criminal counts pending and his civil case being a PR nightmare, how in the world do you fork over that kind of collateral with zero assurances in the contract that he gets to play? The only reason Goodell didn't put him on the exempt list is he didn't have to because the Texans had no intentions of playing him. When the press and activists get involved he'll have no choice but to put him on the exempt list until a thorough investigation has been concluded.

Yep. He guaranteed 72M over the next two years. And he still hasn’t been suspended. If Jamies got 3 games for touching an Uber driver, what’s Deshaun Cosby going to get? Best case half a season. That’s a tough sell without giving up anything.

General expectation is that nothing will happen until there's at least some resolution on the criminal charges.

Some teams might be willing to deal with the lawsuits, probably looking for conditions like Ross did in Miami. But others (i.e. the dumb ones) will take the risk and jump in.

Here's to hoping we're not that dumb.

      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.
