Thielen traded

I think the real bright spot of this is that it was a developmentally-minded staff move and not a win-now move.

We are just clearing Cap Space to sign Micah Parsons.

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.

I could see why it doesn't make sense. Probably because I don't do it. I'm high on a lot of the young players. But if folks think Tommy Tremble and XL are top-tier talent or they feel compelled to make excuses for them dropping passes or failing to get open while blaming the signal caller for their lack of performance, no amount of condescension can lay claim to the intellectual high ground.

Well, we did get those two first round picks for Burns - - umm never mind.  

I really can't name one other than the Mingo trade. Glad to see some others.

He's basically live streaming his family's celebration over it.  There's coach speak and then there's just straight up dishonesty.  Why even comment on it?

[rebelrouser]

I'm not opposed to the trade in general as this team needs a lot more work, but the Vikings should have been more desperate w/ Addison out so i think we could have done better.  Also, this hurts my TJ Hockenson fantasy draft pick.

Buddy I’ve never gone from liking a player to outright hating a player so quickly.

Who’s our vet in our wr room now ? 
 

not a big fan of this trade unless there’s some plan in place, talented wr group but very little experience from that group in totality 

[BEASTfromdaEAST]

Love this! Coke szn incoming!

The idea you NEED a vet in the room to be successful is BS and ignorant way of thinking. Our WR room is hungry now let the young dogs go EAT!

If you close your eyes, this is essentially Matt Rhule talking.  

Canales is a dipshit.

Video on Reddit showing him celebrating with his daughter about going “home”.  He definitely wanted this

[WUnderhill]

The guy was born and raised and spent his whole life in Minnesota so I can get the excitement if the only reason they left was for a job. Also, I’m sure there’s some degree of satisfaction in sticking it to the Vikings in a way by performing so well over the past couple years that they are actually trading draft picks to get you back when before they didn’t want you. He was a professional while here, and if he was coming to my team I’d be happy to see him and his family excited to come, so I find it hard to hold against them. The wife seems most excited about it. Probably all her friends and social network from all the way back to childhood are back there.
