LaCanfora CBS Sports: 'Its possible Minnesota trades Adam Thielen at the deadline'
I think Viking's fans have to get their arms around this kind of thing. Its the only way things change and potentially gets better. Or he's completely full of shit. But it would be a huge salary cap savings.
The only reason I see why we would trade Thielen is that, like Diggs, he is wanting out because our QB is terrible.
I mean, nothing would surprise me...but LaCanfora is a hack reporter.
I think anything should be on the table at this point. The idea of trading Harrison Smith is the one that pisses me off the most though.
its “possible” we trade Cousins too. And monkeys fly out Zimmers butt. Hate the “possible” reporting.
I really doubt they trade Thielen, although I realize anything is possible at this time.
I think this one is much less likely than the three mentioned in the other post. But if they don't get takers on the Rudy, Harry and Riley, they may go this route. I'm sure there are several teams who would love to add AT for their playoff run. In particular the Seahawks, who apparently wanted Antonio before the Bucs swooped in. Packers and Ravens, too.

11/3 is the trading deadline...Something else is also going on that day, it alludes me right now though.
I would trade anyone except Kendricks and Jefferson.
AT makes sense, by the time this team is ready to compete again he will be past his prime. Why pay his salary for the next 2 years and then have to replace him anyway due to declining production. It just slows the rebuild dragging out the inevitable imo.
as far as Cosuins, it's been beat to death that he is almost untradeable this year. We would have to create about 20 million in cap space for this year to be able to absorb the last 2 years of his prorated signing bonus. Do we even have that much left to pay all the guys on the block?
With Odell Beckham Jr.’s knee issue, it sure looks like the Browns could use a guy like Thielen...

If the Vikes trade Thielen and cant snag Lawrence, Fields, or Lance....watch them take the best WR available
