Is this really news? They're the 2 dudes we met with last week

That we want to sign both is definitely news.

I like Thielen as he'd be a good slot safety valve for a rookie and would be a great vet presence in the WR room to teach these guys how to be pros, particularly TMJ and whichever WR we draft in the 2nd.

But I just don't see the need for Chark, he's similar to TMJ and very injury prone, just not someone I'd like to see us target as I don't think he brings enough value to us right now.

Thielen slot possession guy, TMJ outside clasher and Chark deep threat they would all have their roles

If we trying to sign both why not just go after a true #1 like Hopkins?

 

Then we really in business.

I’m sure I’m in the minority but Hopkins scares me more than Chark due to age and injury history alone. I’m not sure he would want to come here at this stage of his career and a rookie QB but that’s just my speculation.

ESPN speculative piece "Panthers might sign" repeated by some rando guy with a twitter account.

Wouldn't be upset if it happens though.

I'm a BIG fan of Thielen.  I think tales of his lost step are overstated. 

Yes, he's not his 26 year old self, but the guy still maintained his WR2 status in a year where Osbourn was supposed to start taking a big increased load and JJ's targets continue to go up as a league wide superstar. I would love to see him somehow be that leader vet receiver that supports and mentors up an entire group under him.  He could set up a great legacy move for him if he is the leader for a young offense like the one we're putting together.  Get him for his late career for a few years, he can sign/retire a Vike down the road.  

Sure hands for a guy that can get open quick is a perfect vet.  

Chark is a good upside gamble because when he does play, he's a solid X receiver.  TMJ can be flanker.  I'm unsure if Chark signs here though, but would be optimistic about it if it happens.  

Them combined would open things up not just positionally, but in receiver type.  Could take anyone from Mingo to Scott to Downs with that type of group.

I think this is just lazy reporting by ESPN. They know we brought both in. Instead of wording that we are interested in these guys, they purposely word it like we hope to bring in both. Think it’s just to create a story and views.

I bet you would really love The Urge then! Though, I think they are more trumpets than sax iirc.
