Overpaid?  The man is putting up Pro Bowl numbers.  He's the best FA investment Fitterer made this offseason and one of the best in franchise history.

Fitterer deserves a lot of blame right now, but signing Theilen has kept this season from being more of a cluster.  Theilen's earned every penny and more.

Right, hes on pace for over 100 catches, like 1400-1500 yards and 10 TDs.

He's good, but putting up better numbers than he would be if we had anyone else resembling an NFL-caliber WR on the roster.

Still, the fact that at his age he's the only viable receiving threat on the team and can still produce even though defenses know that is impressive.

I'm not dinging him because of his situation. He's doing his job, and he's doing it well. Other receivers wouldn't be, and honestly aren't as good of a route runner as Thielen has been over his career. The transition from the outside to the slot has been seamless. It's exactly how you want to do it. Hats off to him!

His skill set will allow him to play for another 3-5 years if he so chooses. Love that guy. 
 

These young guys can gain so much from him if they have the work ethic and want to. 

That was my hope when we signed him that these young guys could learn from a guy who's not the biggest or fastest how to create their own separation. Not sure if that will happen or not, but they should be.

Only guy Bryce trusts rn. I really was looking forward to the chemistry that 9 was forming with 15 and 17 during TC and preseason, but they have been a disappointment thus far. 

Hopefully Brown can unlock the code to get these other NPCs activated on gamedays.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
