Thielen has a way of scoring touchdowns in the redzone. Having a consistent redzone threat would be nice.

14 TDs in 2020 (13 Redzone Tds)

10 TDs in 2021 (9 Redzone TDs)

6 TDs in 2022 (4 Redzone TDs)

He took a step back last year in scoring but Justin Jefferson has been taking up more target share each year.

These people on here don’t know Thielen…if you need a big 3rd down or TD this guy shows up every damn time.  He is one of those guys that has been underrated his entire career

Thielen’s route running combined with Stroud’s ability to throw guys open/ball placement would extend Thielen’s career by a year or two 

Good point. 

[Untouchable]

Thielen would be a great add. Just tack on a speed merchant like Hardman or Campbell and we'll be alright.

He was a reaper. I know given my past FF winning, he was overlooked for a long time.

His running mates at WR always seem to play outstanding maybe he’s a rare WR that mentors the young blokes

I agree with you. I think he is underrated because he was an undrafted free agent and doesn't have the "pedigree" of other wide receivers. 

We haven't had a guy who you can count on for that big 3rd down catch or red zone catch that on the roster since Greg Olson retired.

was never a speed freak

 

I think his playing style and abilities age better than those WRs thats rely in athletic ability

 

he gets open due to route running and is sure handed

 

would be a great vet presence for a rookie

Please no. He will never come back. 

Bo's Sweet Tea-MONEY! 

Thielen: "Were do I sign, and can I have a refill"?

not to mention a great mentor to TMJ or whatever young WR we bring in

[Santee_Panther]

Last year he played 17 games and 89% of offensive snaps.  (According to overthecap)

What did OBJ do to you?

I mean A) he’s a little bitch and B) I was just using him as an example. He’s already old and broke, and even though he and Thielen are around the same age, OBJ’s game was the type that disappears quicker than someone like Thielen. Not to mention he was reportedly wanting $20mil a year, and if it’s even half that it’s too much for him.
