Adam Thielen Requests and is Granted Release

[NCBlu]

Damn, he turned down 9 million here and took a big pay cut just to play home...

[NCBlu]

I get it though as far as why he would go back home if they came asking but it is crazy for MIN to trade for a guy just to not use him at all.

GM Dan Morgan:

- Traded Diontae Johnson and a 6th to BAL for a 5th.
- Traded Jonathan Mingo to DAL for a 4th.
- Traded Adam Thielen to MIN for a package including a 4th and 5th.
 

that’s master class work

He also got Mike Jack for a 2024 7th rounder who's on his 6th team somewhere.

Got a future 2nd to replace the awful BY trade, insane value given he also got 2024 2nd and 5th rounder for one 2nd rounder. 

 

He's also at the point where teams/GMs are going to stop having contact with him....

Josh Allen on line 1

Tremayne is here for his blocking and he's a monster at it.

I hope he goes to the AFC and I know the Chiefs were the other consideration when he originally signed with us, but I don’t think their contention chances are very high.  I briefly thought about if we could bring him back to help, but I don’t want him taking snaps or roles away from the younger guys.  I’d much rather XL or Horn get any snaps Thielen would take.

That and I don't want Bryce to develop Thielen goggles again.

Im sure he would contribute more than Legette but not really interested for our situation.

KC would make all the sense in the world. Buffalo could be a sleeper.

Buffalo makes more sense than KC. They have far bigger issues at WR.

Honestly, if that works, IDGAF. I would rather see those reps go to guys like TMac and Coker, however. Especially since they appear to be a significant part of our future at the position. 

But, cheating for a few games to get past Tampa wouldn't be the worst thing in the world....IF it works.

Forgot all about Mingo.  Haven't heard his name since we let him go

He's been IR'd and when healthy- inactive on a few game days. 

I think he's had 8 total catches since the trade, he's been a total non-factor. 4th right now is 100% W for the Panthers, even if it was used on trevor etienne.

Yeah, just looked up his stats for Dallas and he has done absolutely nothing, I get he is injured right now but even before that.  Crazy good trade for a literal bust

You also have to factor in Dak and the.....ugh......cowboys had the best offense at different times (I think when they played the Panthers it was #1). 

He is on that TMJ and Dwayne Jarrett path, just exposed as "not-good" and he's about to be cut this season and for sure in the off-season I see it happening.

It's crazy to think that when XL ends up being added to that bust list how long our WR misses will be.

TMac looks amazing though. I really hope he just continues to improve and be the outlier that we need.
