Bryce has matured, and knows how to go through his progressions and look for the open deep man. Before he would just default to the "Thielen is open for 5 yards" easy button. Not having that forced Bryce to develop. So if he came back, he could fill the slot receiver role nicely. 

I got not animosity towards him. He wanted to go back to where he had roots for the twilight of his career; and we did him a solid. He never expected he'd have to endure "9" though. So if he wants to come back, no, objections here.

I really think he envisioned being able to help their rookie quarterback similar to his rapport with Bryce. That and the fact his wife wanted to go home. I get it, but his ship has sailed in Carolina. We also have David Moore elgible to come off of injured reserve Dec 14th.

I don't know why Thielen would do this. It's the last month of your last year. Just show up for the next few Vikings games and call it a career. Like if you wanted to ring chase, should have signed with the Chiefs a few years back.

Every year we see guys in their final few seasons try to latch on to contending teams for one last shot at a ring. 

Way more fail than succeed.

if he goes on to have the year darnold and jones have had after the vikings got rid of them then his final few games he is gonna go off , hard to believe they let darnald and jones go to keep mccarthy...

I think it took McCarthy getting hurt for Darnold to even get a shot.

Time for us to do something hilarious and sign him to our team and give him a 1 year extension for vet minimum. Then next year, trade him to Minnesota again for a 4th rounder

There's honestly a part of me that could imagine Dan Morgan doing that.

    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
    • Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
