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.

There were plenty of us screaming for a bandaid because we just needed a guy to hold the fort down for 1-2 years until the rest of the WR room sorted itself out and developed. There was actually way more people screaming for that than asking for a young expensive long term contract blue chipper.
I'm still very disappointed we didnt. But no matter... We move on and we'll figure something out as we usually do.
