Plus the return of ISJ and Bisi.

Is Thielen expendable?

Discussion amongst yourselves.

If Thielen restructures, you keep him. He's not worth nearly $17 million to this team. Maybe you keep him at that number with a Cousins redo, but I'm paring that number down.

Hoping AT and KC restructure...

Was nice to see the kid contribute today.

I agree in that a restructure is needed on Thielens deal. He should be a Viking the rest of his career. Despite his age, he us still highly effective when healthy and can cause a lot of problems working out of the slot.

Adam should be a restructure to give him 3 more years and retire as a Viking.  He is still a great WR in this league and needs to stay.

Restructure Adam, use that cap money to re-sign Conklin.  

Most talented WR and TE group in the league

They'd certainly be up there...But man, I just watched that 49'er team beat the Rams for the 6th straight time and those guys got some amazing weapons on offense.

They're going to be a tough out.

Good confidence for the kid to have a game like that before year's end. I bet he works hard this offseason. Some of these guys need to prove to themselves they can do it then they get better.

Thielen should be one of those guys you try hard to have retire a Viking. He's got to restructure to do it but I'm sure he knows that. Between Thielen, Cousins and Barr, there's a good amount of flexibility in the Vikings numbers if they choose to use it.

They also have a creative play caller. Ours can be creative (TE screens, fade routes to Ham, etc) but it's in the wrong way

Deebo Samuel, a 2nd round pick, is unbelievable…

Cordarrelle was our Deebo-lite, but the Vikings didn’t know how to use him after his rookie year, sadly. Even this past offseason he was tweeting and begging to come back but Vikes had no interest. Goes to ATL and puts up huge numbers. Go figure  :'(

ISM is already the most successful NFL wide receiver of the Kirk Ferentz era at Iowa not inherited from Fry.  All Ferentz-recruited WR's combined NFL careers: 1 catch.

The Vikings drafted 2 of the fastest guys in college football in the 2021 draft and we didn't see them until way into the halfway mark of the season and even then they were only peripherially involved.   That is just bad coaching people.

K.J. Osborn is the first non-Thielen, non-Diggs, non-Jefferson WR for the Vikings to accrue 500+ Receiving Yards and 5+ TDs in a season since Greg Jennings in 2014.

Hopefully we get a similar breakout year from the 2021 class.

Mond?
Surratt?
Davis?
Jones?
