Adam Thielen will visit the Panthers

[Guest]

I think the issue isn't so much his amount of targets, nor his separation.  It seems like it was the type/depth of routes he was running.    It seemed rare that this offense went deep, which keeps every one bunched up making the middle routes harder to execute.

I guess he wants to keep playing - anywhere. This makes no sense if he was pursuing a ring b4 retirement.

He wanted to go somewhere where he had more opportunities to get the ball and also be closer to home. He's now less than two hours from his wife and kids on a plane.

Good for him. Wish him the best.

It would be interesting to know what offer he turned down to Vikes, and how much more he'll make as a Panther.  I thought for sure this DL kid would retire a Viking - good for him, I guess.

Hard to say, maybe it will come out later but it gets him closer to home in Orlando

Makes sense its a bit of a warmer locale. Good for him, another payday and he can call it a career. My guess is Minnesota will always be his home base, but living where its warm during the winters. Why not? That's how you do it: enjoy the beautiful summers of Minnesota and get the hell out when the snow starts flying.

Thielen got a really nice contract, 3 yrs. 25 mil.  Of course, he'll probably never make it to the end of it.  But, the 14 mil. guaranteed money is what he was shooting for...
