I'd do it; as long as the pick is right. I think a 4th and if we're lucky a future later round pick would be great. I love what Thielen brings, but we're pretty deep at WR now (and it's actual young talent with a lot of promise), I'd miss his veteran presence and reliability though for sure.

Not that I believe it's a fans responsibility to coddle a multimillionaire to do his job.... But that's one thing I've hated seeing out of this fanbase about XL. Every single social post with him on it people are hounding him about drops and catching the ball. I think even fans underestimate their ability to get in someone's head to the point that it mentally defines them. Next thing you know he's always thinking about drops instead of naturally making the catch. I'd been thinking this recently, and this article kind of solidified it for me.

It really is interesting how the morale of this board is literally night and day from just 24 hours ago.

lmao you sound like me, I noticed the same a few weeks ago. I watch to see him hand catch like a hawk, but not like a lot of these fans hoping he fails, I want to see him improve. That was a trait I immediately noticed about Tetairoa after we drafted him, pure hands. Didn't surprise me when he said one of the guys he emulates is Larry Fitzgerald.

I've always wondered why they make holding a 10 yard penalty. Very excessive for something that isn't a malicious/injury inducing act.

While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

With him being a young speed guy just let him sit until he's 110% healthy.

Yeah I couldn't get excited, and didn't even read the story when we signed him. It would've been very cool about 2 years ago. This year we're so deep at WR you know it would take a lot for him to stay on anything more than Practice Squad (which is still an amazing accomplishment in life I should say).

I get what you mean, but we have a lot of pieces that weren't here for CMC. With CMC I feel like we rarely had a solid QB and WR duo for the offense to play around. Now I think we have potential for that and that would open up CMC's game a lot; also opening up the offense for Bryce (who can also use his legs) and 3 good young WRs and a vet.

You know what's also funny....I literally thought about that too lmao I'd take Aaron Donald for sure. But if I can play what if.... I may actually take a healthy CMC lol. Because I'm indecisive, I'll put in my final bid for a top tier TE, idk about Kelce at this stage in his career though.

I was literally thinking just as I came across this post "This would be a much harder question and more entertaining thread if you couldn't say a QB." lol The answer is Mahomes, Lamar, or Josh Non-QB: I think I'd love Jamarr or JJ. Then I might even go Myles Garrett for this years team.

You broke down this move perfectly; close the thread. This is exactly why I'm so pissed, the only justification I try to lay my head on is they were saying he should've been the #1 RB in that draft without injury, and also he looked very shifty last year. But man. I felt this was a bad pick when we made it, and it's looking horrible now.

they'll put it in the notes app and tell us to screenshot the :05 video would work just fine for me

I haven't seen this surface anywhere else reputable yet, so I wouldn't get my hopes up lol

I know I'm just stating the very obvious... but it's always funny in the NFL that if you let a guy like Jaycee walk, he could stay hurt and we get some solid young replacements with the money and now Dan Morgan is a genius. Or you let him walk, he randomly heals like Wolverine and plays like Revis and now you're an idiot. We'll just have to hope with time this move pays off lol

In the spirit of due diligence, I would want to see what he's learned and changed since being here, and how much of a factor he was in building this last team/drafting Jayden Daniels.

I'm glad to see this. He was notably absent last year, while CJ was making the rounds like an actor on a press tour lol.

A healthy Kupp on this team would be nasty paired with our developing young guys and Thielen.

I assumed Thielen was gone, but if he doesn't take a big step back with age that is a huge relief to have a possession veteran that you can rely on. Bryce may have some weapons depending on the progression of Coker, Legette and Sanders plus maybe one good starter in FA.

When you say anti-social where does that come from/what have you seen? I felt like he'd probably been showing more of his personality, but I'm also not as tuned in to some of his newer projects.

Newton definitely was let down by others during that Super Bowl; we had momentum going down the field so many times only to turn the ball over. We see especially in these 2025 playoffs where those turnovers end up being the difference.

https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1884988986956845272 I kind of figured he may make some of these points, especially given the current standard in sports. It's all about perspective. Thoughts?

lol yeah that's one thing I didn't love about our draft at all. We picked Brooks who was coming off of a Torn ACL and was a gamble to even picka RB that high. And Legette who was a known body catcher with limited sample size from college. Both of our picks were a little too based on potential for us to be so bad. We need a few guys that are ready to step in asap. I guess every rookie is based on potential, but some guys are projects. We can't afford any projects.
