Again, dude signed a 3 year 25M deal. He averaged 8.3M per year. Why would you add more incentives when you have him under contract? Is your name Marty? I remember when out of respect he gave Greg more money and Greg didn’t earn a penny of it as he missed most of the last couple of seasons with injuries.

Thielen is not going to hold out. You don’t just kick more money to him when you don’t have to and he already got the signing bonus up front.

Let's other players in the league know we take care of our veteran leaders.

This is probably the best news possible for our offense this offseason. Early in the year he'll provide an important degree of continuity and we know he's helped Coker and others.  This is huge for the receiving corps. Yes, we need other weapons regardless but veteran presence is so important and he brings it in spades.

SMH. What other teams do this? Other players don’t care about Thielen getting more than his contract. They only care what we offer them and anything extra means we have less to spend.

Good to hear! AT has been the reason why the Panthers didn't need to draft another slot WR in McConkey and his contract has been incredibly team friendly as well:

2023 - $3.3M (61st highest cap hit for a WR)
2024 - $9.9M (16th highest cap hit for a WR)
2025 - $8M (29th highest cap hit for a WR)

I was team ladd too, but slot WR << X...which is what we hope XL becomes. That was about the only thing I came up up with favoring XL..

    • Mack is better than Clowney but he would have to come for a similar salary 
    • I'd be very curious who you'd be taking prime Evans over in that first list, especially if you're going their best 1 season, as Evans has never had a multi year dominant streak.  All those guys in that first list have seasons that have easily been better than Evans' best season. For the 2nd list, I'm not saying I'd take them all over Evans, but none of them I'd take Evans without thinking about it, I think if you're talking peak one season type of thing, they all are comparable to Evans from the last decade. I know it's not the end all be all, but prime Evans has never even been a 1st team all pro.  The 3rd most yards he's had in a season was 1,255 in a 17 game season.  He only has 2 seasons where he had over 79 catches and never broke 100.  And he's only had 11 missed games in his 11 year career too, not like his stats were held back due to missing a lot of games. Evans is a great WR, a sure fire HOFer, but even at his peak, he only had a couple seasons of being a Top 10 guy in a given year. His TD numbers are truly elite, I'll give you that, he's 9th all time, but being an elite red zone target doesn't on it's own make you better than other WRs.  But if that's why you view Evans so highly, then T-Mac with his better catch radius than Evans should be even more attractive as he really is going to be one of the best red zone targets in the league from day 1.  His catch radius and hands are going to be deadly in the end zone for whoever drafts him.
