That would be great, but im not seeing the TMJ hype.

 

What gives you confidence he will break out?

I don't have confidence, it's all hope. He has a little juice, and this will be year three---new coaches, new QB, and being hidden by Moore's shadow won't be a problem.

I am not a fan of his contract, $25 million is a little too much for a declining player but I am very happy Adam is here though, I have always wanted him to sign with the Panthers

Please tell me he just turned 32...

 

A 3 year deal for a 33 year old WR makes no sense. But when we are desperate for WR help I get it.

 

Trade for Hopkins and I like this move even more.

He is not seeing year 3 and he's not seeing all $25 million.

Year 3 is most likely a year where we can dump him with limited cap hit. He is guaranteed 14 million, he will probably get ~16-18 million when all is said and done.

This is not a bad contract for a #2 WR at all. Especially when we gave Robb(y/ie) Anderson 12 Million per year to do jack poo but drop passes and throw fits the past two seasons.

This is perfectly fine and won't screw us in the long term.

#Panthers Adam Thielen 3-yr $25M, $14M gtd, $8.335M signing bonus, salaries $1.165M (gtd), $5.5M ($4.5M gtd), $4M; $2M 3rd day '24 lg yr roster bonus, $1.5M 3rd day '25 lg yr roster bonus; $29,411 per game active roster bonus 2023, '24, $58,283 per game active '25; 26-27 void yrs

So if I am right he will cost 3.73 this year.  The 1.65 salary and and the 2 mil signing bonus spread over 4 years.   We still have room to add Chark.

I am with the year three and he showed a little last year. And the tools he has. 
And I just don’t think DJ gets moved if they don’t think TMJr is ready to contribute more.

Good deal for him and us 

Don’t worry about cap space Fitterer has budgeted accordingly to do what he feels is necessary

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
