Like I just said, Thielen is much more important to the team than the 5th/6th round pick they would get in return. 

100%

Honestly getting a 4th would be borderline robbery on our part.

I hate when people say this. It all depends on what that 4th turns into. Bird in the hand.

This is why the panthers have the leverage, you either pay up with a decent trade package and if you don’t the Panthers have a good receiver on their team.

That's a young draft pick for a guy who guaranteed will not be playing for the team next season.

You guys are too attached. And the players you're attached to aren't even that good.

I'm good either way. If we move Thielen to free up snaps for the youngsters and get future draft capital, I get it. If we keep him to provide Bryce with a security blanket in his prove it year, I get it.

This is not a playoff team barring an angels in the outfield level miracle. It is and always was a developmental season. And at some point your QB has to elevate those around him as he was drafted to do regardless.

Cowards.

Panthers reportedly asked for a third and the Vikings final offer was a 4th.

Hopkins went for a 5th last year and we asked for a 3rd. Hilarious.

If the 4th didn't involve us eating a bunch of cap for them I would've taken it. I'd honestly rather have Coker out there anyway.

Dan Morgan will trade up into the second round to draft an RB with a torn ACL but won't take a 4th for a 35 year old WR who will walk and or retire for nothing next year.

Hopkins only had 170 yards in 6 games for the Titans before he was traded.  He could go to a competitor, and the Titans got to dump 5.5 mil in salary and acquire another draft pick towards their inevitable rebuild. It's not the same situation.
