As for Thielen, keep up with your revisionist history. Being open to kicking the tires on a 33yr old Thielen isn’t the same as giving the guy 2/18mm. The Panthers at the time obviously had to overpay to get him given that they were desperate to surround whoever was gonna be their QB pick with weapons after trading away DJ Moore.

Fine, Ridley went for a 3rd and a 5th. Thx for clearing that up. Before you ask, yes, I would've made that trade.
What revisionist history? Thielen has always been good. Better than JuJu certainly. He owns a Passer Rating average of over
113.8 for every single season except one (91.5), and a success rate of over
56%. With a catch rate of over
69% for his career, with 4 seasons over
70%, including this one.
You really saying two years of that type of reliability and production wasn't ever worth $9 million/yr for a couple years?
And he's got 68 grabs right now, when every DC they play KNOWS he's getting the ball 7+ times a game, and they still can't stop him. He's literally one of the most reliable pass-catchers in the league since 2016.
