We did right by AT and got some comp. It's time to see if these young dudes can play and step up. People acting like we need to sit XL so he can learn...if that's the case, we drafted wrong. Can't be spending first round picks on project WR's who can't even start. Be better or be gone.

This tells me that the Front Office likely doesn't see us as a playoff team this year. That's ridiculous considering what we gave up for Bryce and that he's in his third year. 

I could have told you that before this trade. They've been hinting all off-season that this isn't the year for playoffs

A lot of things about this can be true at the same time. 

Was he our most reliable wr? Yes

But he was also injured a chunk of last year, we had to buy him out of retirement,  he had 1 foot out the door and the other in minny, we aren't going to the superbowl this year, we only had him for this year, we need to see how our young wr are and we need to see who Bryce really is. Thielen was at most a 3 or 4. Getting the return we did while not eating salary was solid. Thielen put up with this circus for years. We did him right and I wish him thr best in minny

Not if they can't catch or get open.

See that's why so many convos here get into the weeds and contentious. Folks are more than eager to groan about a lack of offensive young talent then when we do have good young talent (two first round WR's and a young Jalen Coker) they say that talent isn't good enough. You expect top tier play from the moving parts within the offense at all times but you'll accept literally anything from the signal caller and call it progress. Doesn't make sense.

So for now Coker, our 2nd year UDFA, is by default the most reliable WR on this team?! You serious, Clark? You know he is low key celebrating this.

Until Tet takes a true NFL snap, Coker has the highest floor in the team as Tet is an unknown. I feel like Tet will be a dawg for us, but again, it’s still an unknown. 

Knowing that Thielen was out may have influenced them keeping Moore. It’s going to be fun to see this play out.

vikes pickup his $7mil this year too.

this is a solid deal and it's time bryce leaves the thielen nest and spread his wings. I remember we got rid of smith as well so Cam could take up more of the leadership role.  Theilen served his purpose as a dependable vet to help the young QB but it's year 3 now. time for the next step.

 

got mid teir draft picks and more $$$ for a 34 year old injury prone wr. this is a win.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
