[The Note]

Chiefs should be all over these mercenary vet WRs every year. Something with a cheap base salary that contains incentives that can pump it up.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Bills should look to bring him in as a #2/3

They dont have much at WR beyond Diggs and Davis

 

[StreetHawk]

Makes sense for Buffalo. More of an intermediate to possession WR. Reliable guy.

 

[SnS]

Come to Carolina.

Dudes going to get paid. A big need for an experienced quality receiver

Theilen will have options. Get less with better rosters like Buffalo, KC, LAC, even Jax with Lawrence.

Or get more money with a younger QB who needs that veteran WR like Chicago, Giants, GB with Love, whomever Indy or Houston draft at QB, teams like that.

Really no fit for him in Chicago unless he is fine being #4 option

Moore + Mooney + Claypool are the 1-3 WR's now

Theilen is reliable and football smart (ie. not going to celebrate first downs during a 2 minute drill or remove his helmet after the tying TD). But, you are correct that Chicago is set at WR in terms of talent and with Kmet at TE probably have other needs like the trenches to spend their money.

With Olave, another WR is it #10 and then if Thomas Returns I think that’s enough guys for the saints.

No one trusts Michael Thomas. He’s played 12 games in 3 years.

He’s a massive dead cap charge and I did wonder why he tweeted positive tweet when Carr signed. I did recall that the saints would try to figure out a way to move on from him.

His cap charge for 2023 is like low teens but dead cap in the mid 20’s.

Matter of whether AT believes the saints can contend (nfc is the weaker conference) and or gets the money he feels he is worth.

One of my all-time favourites but it was time. It already made sense because of his contract/play and even more so after he was reportedly unhappy with his role. Don't want him to really criticize him but how are you going to want a bigger role when you can't really separate and have JJ as WR1?

None of that really matters now. It was awesome watching him throughout his prime and his story really is great. I'll still root for him and hopefully he finds a good spot where he can win.

Saw this coming, but a sad day nonetheless as the time comes to an end for this fan favorite and hometown hero. I like that the Vikings recognize being a 13 win team with our 2022 roster as is is not sustainable, and are purging aging veterans where there's cap space to be had.

As for where he goes, I think the Bills and Jets (if they trade for Rodgers) are 2 good fits for him.

Bills make sense but we're also like two tweets away from Diggs asking for a trade so.....
