Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

Horn was out on the field as they ran the clock out last night.  That tells you about Horn Jr. 

if they trade AT….its because Coker and Renfrow can do what AT does 

Yeah, I honestly don't see Horn making the roster unless moving AT frees up a spot for him.

I think that means he's a lock to make the team but they know he'll be 5th or worse on the depth chart, so they wanted to get him as many snaps as possible before he ends up getting minimal snaps in the regular season.

Says more about Horn Jr then it does about Renfrow. 

I actually expect them to split time at slot with Horn taking more time away as the season goes on. 

I don't think Horn gets much playing time at all unless injuries happen. I think Coker gets first crack at slot WR with Tet and XL starting out wide.

Nah, because if they weren't planning on keeping Horn, he likely wouldn't have played at all, hoping they could then sneak him through to the PS

I agree. I see all the talk of Renfrow but it has been Coker that has earned the PT all offseason long.

Thielen is a tall air yards guy. Renfrow is a short yac receiver. Not too much in common really.

Well apparently Dave Canales read this and agreed with me.

I think he has a decent chance of not making the 53. He'd be no higher than 5th on the WR depth chart and didn't do anything to show out on special teams. I would prefer those bottom of the roster types to be special teams contributors.

Well, sounds like Thielen is as good as gone. I wouldn't expect a coach to even entertain talking about trading a player in the days leading up to week one kicking off unless it was happening. Those types of questions are usually just flat out shot down by coaches.

I'm not opposed to it IF we're confident XL is ready to deliver AND that Renfrow can stay healthy. I didn't like how he reached for that hammy after that hospital ball last night.

I would add IF we get a good offer.

Theilen would need to be agreeable to the idea, of course.

(not certain that's true)

I hope we keep Adam he is one of the more consistent Wide Receivers

Anything that coms from David Newton requires context.

Wouldn't be surprised if Renfrow is left off, but I do think he is the 2nd best option in the slot behind Coker when AT is traded (assuming we don't use Tet in the slot). The more I think, the more I start believing Horn is the odd man out and somebody we hope to stash on PS. Hopefully I am wrong though and Moore is the one we cut.

Day 3 pick is the return coming back

Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
