^^^^^ what? http://www.nfl.com/player/larryfitzgerald/2506106/profile 1100 yards, 90 receptions, 6 TD's isn't doing much? he had a quarterback situation comparable to ours and he still put up stats. if we can make excuses for Smitty having a down year they can do the same for Fitz.

if there is any receiver in the NFL that deserves a deal like this it's Fitz. guy is arguably the best receiver in the NFL and is pure class. love the deal for Arizona.

no WR deserves a deal like that. it's ridiculous. he's being paid QB money. He might be one of the better receivers in the league, but no receiver is worth that. not even close. we paid slightly over market value for our top 2 FAs, but they paid 50% over his last deal (which also was still the top deal for a WR at the time).

Just seems like too much.

But he is the best WR in the NFL.

Who are we as Panther fans to say someone overpaid.

Points @ DWill/LB-Johnson deal.

I call it like I see it.

Same when I called us out for the DWill and Johnson signing.

I just can't imagine that Fitz is going to get better, but maybe I'm wrong.

ITT: no one realizes how important Fitzgerald is to the Cardinals

He is their Peyton Manning/Tom Brady/etc. They would have lost a lot more money had they let him walk, because if he walked, so would thousands of other Cardinals fans.

He has a very good chance to end up a top 3 ALL TIME receiver. His play style doesn't rely on speed so he will be very productive well into his 30s.

Worth every penny.

I still dont think he is worth all of that money, but you are right about everything else. He will have a hard time getting the stats to become top 3 unless Kolb is the real deal though.

It's not though. Why do people think the rookie pay scale was put in? To free up more money for the veteran players. Contracts like this are going to happen more and more.

As for the Kolb thing, I think even if he's an average QB he'll continue to dominate. Hell, he put up another 90 rec/1100 yard+ season with Derek Anderson and John Skelton at QB lol.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts

      From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
