"Inside" info is spread and suckers buy, driving up the price. The scammers sell then the bubble bursts, turning the Joes into bag holders.

That would be as egregious as drafting Cine, then passing on Hamilton (doh!) NFW...I honestly could care less if we get Theilen or not. When JJ and JA are back? Its about as good as it gets in the NFL. KOC can mfgr production with what they got now - admittedly not too much depth. But we're talking 3 games.

Even as a huge fan of Thielen, that's far too steep for his age and mileage. Even if he did play all season, I can't image him being asked to produce more than 600 yards and a few TDs, though his capabilities might still go beyond that. Even knowing that he's been working with JJM doesn't make that trade sane. I hope Carolina dials back the price, because I'd love to see him back. That said, bad deals aren't worth taking.
It's almost time for the wondering to stop and the games to be played...SKOL VIKINGS!!!

The coaching staff knows iplayers and where they are in their development. No way I believe this whole thing developed this week. Unsure what the terms will be, but I suspect this deal is already done.

Same source that reported the ask of a 3rd said the Vikes offered a 4th. If true, inane.

There is no way I would give more than a 6th for him. Feels like there is a lot of smoke there and it may happen, but hope it doesn't.

Agreed. I don't think this is going to happen because Carolina actually has plans for him. Big plans? No. But still enough where they aren't going to give him away and Minnesota shouldn't be so desperate to overpay for an old WRer.

Carolina's counting on the "fuzzy" part of this to get the Vikings to overpay. Vikings are counting on the Panthers to look at their young WR room and realize it's in their best interest to move Thielen while they still can. Probably is, this is probably not true for either team.
