Good process here from the Vikings. 

Had two 5ths for 2026 (with potential third, depending on Cam Robinson playing time). Parted with one. Swapped 4th for 5th next season, but Vikings will have high expectations next year — the 4th would be expected to be late.

4th round pick for a 33 year old with one year left and we signed in FA? That’s a good deal!

It's a 4th round pick 2 drafts from now, when we'll also be giving up a 5th round pick in that same draft.

While then getting a 5th in the next draft and giving up what will be a 6th or 7th rounder depending how well Thielen does.

Which means we likely just traded Thielen away to move up 20 or so picks on the 3rd day of back to back drafts.

It makes no sense

It stings for Bryce in 2025, but does make sense for the long term plan for this team. I think we bring in another WR (Palmer, Renfrow, Corley, etc) and really AT shouldn’t be relied upon for more than a WR3 or WR4 security blanket for any team. 
 

I also think this is Dan doing a solid for a vet that wants to retire in Minny. A 4th is about fair value for what AT meant for this team in 2026 and beyond. 
 

I loved Thielen’s vet presence but I think our blueprint is setting up for 2026 to be the year we talk serious playoff run and he was not a part of that run.

Also, doesn't this now mean David freaking Moore is currently the only WR on the team who has played more than 1 season in the NFL?

So so dumb.

Sink or swim time for Bryce. They want to know what they've got and now they'll know. Canales has plenty of leeway and is safe for a few more seasons.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
