I believe Thielen has been the only one so far this year. We used void years with Reddick Thielen, Hurst, Bell, Tuttle all have roughly 10 mill cap hits next year and can’t exactly be cut to save anything. These definitely aren’t guys you want to be restructuring

We’re in absolutely no position to start using void years into 26-27. Unfortunately for us if Fitterer isn’t winning by then he’ll be come and those years won’t be his problem

Good f’n lord

Signing Thielen tells me that they’re probably not in on Hopkins or OBJ

I’m actually going to assume Chark is coming too after that report earlier today

We needed a dependable WR like Thielen. He’ll be our chain mover on 3rd down Now we need a home run threat and we’re looking nice on paper

Wait… 3 year deal? Wow

I really want Thielen Chark is a whatever for me

I said that as soon as the trade happened Including DJ allowed for us to send SF’s 2nd rounder instead of ours which is a pretty big deal Then obviously we got to keep our 1st rounder in 2025 If we end up trading a 3rd or 4th for Nuk to replace DJ then we really did do well

I believe Terrace (if he stays healthy) can put up Michael Pittman Jr numbers in this offense We need someone of Dionte’s mold who has the speed and can line up anywhere to compliment Terrace though There are a couple guys in the draft that could fill this role but we’d be asking a lot from a lot of young guys then. Which is why Thielen would’ve been a really nice signing

Locker room risk? Genuinely asking, I haven’t seen anything about that stuff on him before

I wonder if the Steelers would trade Dionte Johnson

They can sign or trade for whoever they want They’re taking the bulk of the cap hits next season on all these new contracts Fitterer has already blown through a lot of the space Panthers fans keep talking about next year

He put on a show last year at OSU’s pro day 13:47 they start running post routes. I assume he’s throwing from the 35. Balls are landing on the 5

We’re definitely a team that can offer him a larger role on offense but yeah… He’s another guy that may want a 1 year deal to show what he can do as a WR and not so much as a gadget type guy. That doesn’t fit with our cap situation There’s also a handful of guys in the draft that can play his type of role that can be had after round 1 which isn’t helping his market

Hardman isn’t liking the offers he’s getting. Which is why he remains a FA Teams view him as a one trick pony hence him tweeting out him running actual routes

The 2020 Colts offense was 10th in yards and 9th in points If you go watch how that offense moved the ball it plays to all of CJ’s strengths CJ would absolutely cook in that 2020 offense. Reich was able to have success with Rivers whose arm was on its last legs

So in this scenario we like 3 guys but drop down to 4? Leaving the door wide open for someone to trade to 3 Sounds like a solid plan to me

If only NFL GM’s were as slow as some of the people here then maybe Fitterer’s little game would work It would still take 100% confidence that Houston doesn’t want their guy and that’s a risk I doubt they’re willing to take

SEND IT

Yes they are You’re the only person the Panthers seem to be fooling here Fitterer tells the beat reporters they’re open to trading down after making the trade. These beat reporters take it and run with it which is exactly what the Panthers want. The big name “insider” guys then start throwing it around and that’s how this all works The Panthers traded up to get their guy. They don’t have 2-3 in mind. They have 1. The ONLY team they’d trade with is Houston. Carolina wants to get Houston to trade up a spot for a guy that they’re not taking. It’s not happening. It’s actually all pretty ridiculous

You do know that they use Joe sometimes for this very reason right?
