The latest from Adam Schefter: 

Vikings and Panthers have tried to work out a trade for Carolina WR Adam Thielen, who would like to return to Minnesota, but the two sides continue to struggle to agree on compensation.

It sounds like there is a good chance of this happening (I wish it wouldn’t) but at least if it does, Morgan won’t be fleeced. Vikings fans are crying saying panthers should just give him away, that’s not how this works. He’s too valuable to the offense and is the best wr on the team.

I think trading AT (for the right price) is a good thing. BY, needs to develop with all of the WR weapons we have.

The breaking news here is that Adam Thielen reportedly wants to return to Minnesota 

If that's truly the case, there goes the #Panthers leverage with Thielen digging his heels in

What, Thielen wants to go back to an organization that's not run like a circus? Nah.....

If they are willing to do the 4th with a performance clause to bump to a 3rd, problem solved.

It seems to me that Adam Thielen's agent is using Adam Schefter as a way to make this trade happen.

That's the bit I didn't want to throw out without another source. 

 

So now it's out, AT and his wife want to go back home. So he's actually pushing for this trade since him and his agent had to get involved because of the paycut request. 

 

Why I've stood firm that the trade would eventually happen.

I think they are more in the ballpark of a 6 or 7

They've offered a 5th and 6th according to Vikings sources. Panthers want a 4th plus 6th I believe.

Give Dan Morgan credit for holding out for proper compensation but it seems he may have to take less than what Adam is worth to us.

A 5th and 6th isn't bad but Panthers would have to pay a chunk of his salary and possibly that 6th rounder might be in 2027

He definitely wants to go back, him and his wife stay there in the off-season. He's worked out with JJ the last two offseasons and has done an interview about JJ and how good he thinks he's going to be. 

Neither wanted to leave Minnesota in the first place but he didn't want to retire yet, now it's getting down to what seems like his last year and he wants to go back to Minnesota, play his last year there and retire a Viking.

Bit of a dog act if hes trying to force his way out after we gave him a pay bump when we didn't need too
