He came back for 1 million dollars.  I think the Panthers knew they were going young and wanted him as a mentor.  

Maybe he can be a Panthers' coach one day.  Charlotte's not that bad of a city to live comparatively. Of course he has a home in Orlando as well, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him settle down in The Queen City.

I am sure the 9 million he is making had little to no effect as well

With the positive press the team has been getting I've forgotten we are paying AT $9 million for the one season. That's fuging insanity. And in 2023 when he eclipsed 1k yards we had the worst passing offense in the league lmao.

Then we're paying Dalton $8 million hoping we never have to watch him throw a football again under any circumstances.

Yeah let's hope these young guys are ready to elevate the team so we don't have to think about these issues.

AT had 6 million reasons to play as many of the 17 games as he can. 

our 2025 Ricky Prohel is a bit expensive. 

He's absolutely necessary though. With nothing but inexperienced unproven youth outside of him we need that veteran presence on the unit both on and off the field. Overall, I bet we have one of the cheapest receiver units in the league because outside of Thielen at WR and Tremble at TE virtually everyone else is on rookie contracts.

The AT deal (ext) I can kindof wrap my head around.  Kindof.  But the dalton deal is fuging bananas for numerous reasons.  The main couple is that he was completely shot last year and his arm is fuging done and secondly if Canalas is this wonder coach of qbs why in the hell wouldnt we be utilizing that and bringing in other young talent whether is a rookie or young vet to try and turn them around while canalas is here?

And AT absolutely fuging leveraged that into a few more million dollars and hell credit to him for doing that cannot blame him a bit.  He took advantage of his situation and everyone on here would do they same

We have about $21M in cap space dedicated to WR this year. There are 8 individual WRs with higher cap hits than that by themselves.

*Oops, that didn't include T-Mac. Make that $26M. There's still two guys over that number with four more right at it.

I just don't view Thielen as that consequential to our season.

Absolutely if Canales is the QB guru he has been hyped to be he should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time by developing more than one QB. At the end of the day the Dalton contract is for our starting QB's comfort level whether we like it or not. Let's just hope our #1 pick makes us all forget about these little things with at least a fringe elite season.

He is here for Bryce's comfort and development.  When a guy gels with your main asset, his price goes up.

      Coaches can't mentor, they coach, they are two entirely different things, and your coaches can also only do so many things at one time.  When they're running a drill, the vets are pulling the young guys aside after their reps and giving tips while waiting for the drill to reset. You do also realize that for the most part, players are only around the coaches in the film room and on the field, coaches aren't in the locker room other than just before the game and at half.  That's another place someone like Thielen shines, he's always been a pro's pro, he's going to take these young WRs under his wing and team them how you go about being an NFL player. That's not stuff coaches do, you NEED the vets for it and Thielen has embraced the role.  When you have a guy who made his career on doing the little things right, and he is willing to be that vet mentor to a group of young WRs in their 1st or 2nd year that you hope to be your future 1-4, then he's worth every penny we're giving him this year.

      Panthers Wideout Retreat - TMac Vlog

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Why in Minnesota? That's bizarre. Not like we have a vet WR who played his college ball and the majority of his NFL ball in Minnesota that a few room temperature IQ Panthers fans want to poo on who was obviously brought in every bit as much to mentor young WRs as much as he was to play who has still managed to put up decent numbers in awful offenses in the twilight of his career. Anyone who thinks the Panthers haven't gotten everything out of Thielen that they signed up for shouldn't be taken seriously.
