pretty amazing for us to pull him int his FA market considering our team's current situation (not being a contender) and the fact that we're drafting a rookie qb

We’re in absolutely no position to start using void years into 26-27.

Unfortunately for us if Fitterer isn’t winning by then he’ll be come and those years won’t be his problem

If I’m not mistaken, if Thielen retires during those void years they go off of the books (dead cap wise). It’s possible they are banking on that.

 

also, the eagles did the void years with a players during their Super Bowl victory seasons, and somehow they were able to get the void years Goff the books. I need to brush up on it, but mainly there are ways around them.

I’m gonna be that guy, but if we get new unis or at least some small tweaks, this is gonna be a top tier off-season.

Whooooaaaaa Uncle Ray wasn't expecting those contract details...I think the only other WR we're getting in FA would be one like Jamison Crowder

Whoever we pick...it seems more likely Young than Stroud now...they want to win now mode...

2022 Thielen + Sanders + Hurst = 2477 yds 19 TDs

2022 DJ + Foreman + CMC (6 games) = 2498 yds 15 TDs

It sucked to lose DJ, a fan favorite, but....

• We moved from 9 --> 1
• A new franchise QB1 is finally in our sights
• A competent, loaded coaching staff at the helm
• Still room to add another WR and/or TE
• Cap flexibility in '24 (though it is starting to dwindle)

It's a great time to be a Panthers fan. Thielen will thrive here as a WR2 in '23 if he can stay healthy....probably becomes the WR3 in '24 and then is off the roster in '25.

No reason to think he can't put up 50-750-7TD next year.

Meh….

This move doesn’t excite me, rather have Chark. Thielen is at best the the third option on a good receiving core.

I know this doesn’t always mean anything, but TMJ and Adam both follow Chark on Social media. Someone on twitter said they are recent follows. Again, probably nothing.

no body talks abt it but AAI2 is one of the best plots in  the franchise

also don't worry this still puts us in play for someone like Chark, but I rly wouldn't rule out another CB.

It really is; love how that story played out. Probably has my favorite characters out of all the versions too
