Getting a fourth round pick and saving $7M is salary cap is more than fair for a 35 year old WR in his last year. This is really good compensation and a great job by Dan and team. 
 

the cap is irrelevant now unless we roll it over, something that we dont do much of, still waiting for that big signing or big trade that posters on here swore was coming after the moton deal

This was not an easy deal for Carolina to do. Panthers valued Adam Thielen's third-down savvy, so they asked for a lot in return initially, which stalled the deal a bit. But Carolina might still be a year away from full contention mode, so getting draft capital helps.

He does. Bryce isn't his QB and he was given permission to bench him last year. This year is money for him and the coaching staff as long as the defense takes a step forward. If Bryce doesn't work out, he'll get to pick his QB and have a couple years to make it work.

Look at his wife's Instagram... He's excited to be going back. 

yeah but why, they kicked him to the curb a couple of years ago and he could retire there in Jan.

If he wanted out, then there was nothing the team could do, it sucks trading your best wr and valuable piece for Bryce’s development. I just don’t see how this is a good thing.

The #Panthers weren’t just going to give Adam Thielen away. They were going to do right by him and trade him to the #Vikings only IF a deal made sense.

A big reason they were comfortable making the move: they love WR Jalen Coker. Remember the name.

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

So we get the #1 pick in the 4th round and give them the #32 pick in the 5th round…LFG!

why would he want out after we gave him a raise to come back.  Its probably me but something is missing in all this

Because he is old and close to retirement and wants to play at home???

No other team in this league would’ve given us a fourth for Adam Thielen and that’s no disrespect for Adam but he’s basically a 35-year-old rental

Then you don’t trade him. Trades don’t have to happen. 
 

this feels like a hit of dopamine for the people who think we care about reading their mock draft and BIG BOARD but come draft night it will be another player you’ve never heard of whose competing for a depth spot.
