Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

[Jaxel]

I think it trends in the direction we are taking this roster. There is an obvious push for youth, and this make sense as far as preparing 2026, which is what it seems everyone has been talking about being our all in year.

It all comes down to if the staff is confident in Renfrow staying healthy.

Thielen and Renfrow will likely never be on the field together and they both can play a short yardage role out of the slot well.  

If we're confident in Renfrow's health, there is zero reason to not trade Thielen, get something for him while we can, whether it a pick next year or hopefully a LB or DB we can use this year.

That also allows us to keep Moore for special teams as well, which I think makes for a better roster.

We've got to get to .500 before we concern ourselves with an all in year. 

Like maybe we are challenging for a wildcard in 26 if things go well.

I'm curious to see what we would get and which teams are interested.

And yes his value here is at times ridiculously overstated.

I am gonna push back on this "loaded" notion. There are some potentially nice pieces here but I don't think "loaded" is a word many in the NFL would use about us. 

Could it be? Maybe.

That's where I'm at. Let's see what the lineup looks like on Sunday of Week 1.

Looks like people in the Panthers reddit forum with inside sources say the trade is a done deal, but don't know the return yet.

I don’t think this has anything to do with Renfrow. The question is do you think XL or Coker can step up and be WR2. Renfrow and Horn are your slot guys. Maybe we keep Moore if ATis gone? That gives you some vets and Moore plays special teams right?

getting rid of the most reliable wr young has is  a total panther move

huh?

If Thielen stays here this year, I'd bet he takes less than 10% of his snaps lined up outside, and I'm being very generous with that 10%

T-Mac, XL, Coker, Renfrow, and Horn I think are all more likely to be lined up outside on any given play than Thielen would be at this point in his career.

This is all about Renfrow as he's the Thielen replacement if we trade him.  If we're not confident about Renfrow's health, this is a non starter for the team to even discuss.

Can't wait to hear the return is a 7th round pick swap or something worthless like that...

Vikings seem like a perfect fit honestly.  I'm sure he wouldn't mind going back.  He's spent his whole life there.

AT trade should be completed soon, today at some point most likely.

Sink or swim for our QB.
