Happy for him to go home and have something to play for. He played his role here perfectly. Best of luck to him

One of like 3 bright spots in an otherwise very dark time for the franchise.

We traded him and Mingo basically for the same amount lmfao

Cause he was a recent high draft pick in his second season. Theilen is 35 years old and this will likely be his last season in the NFL.

I think it's more surprise that we got anything decent for Mingo.

This is my favorite Panthers play in 15 years that doesn't involve Cam or Luke. I understand he wanted to go back to Minnesota even after saying he stayed for Bryce (what was he supposed to say), and it's hard not to feel sad about that. But if that's the case and it's what he wanted, he at least netted us some future pieces. But I don't think it can be overstated just how important he's been to Bryce Young's development, and I'm really scared about significant regression now that the WR room lost it's leader.

I will not accept any Adam Thielen slander. Bro played his ass off for us, and made incredible plays just like this one constantly. He's a catbro for life in my opinion.

That should’ve been the game sealer. Gonna miss Adam.

I wish him all the best but I hope Minnesota absolutely implodes this year

I love how for like 90% of one-handed catches, you can see the moment the WR considers putting a second hand on to secure the ball but then decides the one-handed catch looks way cooler.

He had so many clutch catches for us.

Happy he can call it a career with Minnesota, frees up a spot for our young WR’s. Win/win for sure

It’s a cool story to head back but they cut him and wouldn’t pay him. he got fam there so that’s chill but vikes with a rookie qb and a banged up WR core, i just don’t see them doing much better than us

Its crazy to think that we were a handful of snaps away from getting dick punched by the commanders in the playoffs.
