Again, dude signed a 3 year 25M deal. He averaged 8.3M per year. Why would you add more incentives when you have him under contract? Is your name Marty? I remember when out of respect he gave Greg more money and Greg didn’t earn a penny of it as he missed most of the last couple of seasons with injuries.

Thielen is not going to hold out. You don’t just kick more money to him when you don’t have to and he already got the signing bonus up front.

Let's other players in the league know we take care of our veteran leaders.

His cap hit is less than last years. No real need to do anything.

Paying him the same out of respect but with incentives. 

No team in their sound mind is going to do that

What were some great 35 y/o receiver years? Need to be prepared for him to be a complete non-factor if Fr. Time is calling. Certainly cannot expect him to be WR1, that would be gross negligence by Morgan

This is probably the best news possible for our offense this offseason. Early in the year he'll provide an important degree of continuity and we know he's helped Coker and others.  This is huge for the receiving corps. Yes, we need other weapons regardless but veteran presence is so important and he brings it in spades.

The team was clearly having fun and Adam was right at the heart of that. I thought he would come back but you also have to clear those things with Wifey.

SMH. What other teams do this? Other players don’t care about Thielen getting more than his contract. They only care what we offer them and anything extra means we have less to spend.

Good to hear! AT has been the reason why the Panthers didn't need to draft another slot WR in McConkey and his contract has been incredibly team friendly as well:

2023 - $3.3M (61st highest cap hit for a WR)
2024 - $9.9M (16th highest cap hit for a WR)
2025 - $8M (29th highest cap hit for a WR)

I was team ladd too, but slot WR << X...which is what we hope XL becomes. That was about the only thing I came up up with favoring XL..

I would put my Hurney hat on and give Adam 20 million per year just to watch your heads explode.
