Adam Thielen to sign three-year deal with Carolina
Ian Rapoport reports that wide receiver Adam Thielen will sign a three-year contract with the Carolina Panthers.
What It Means:
Thielen spent the first nine years of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, but was released by the team at the beginning of the offseason. He will now sign a three-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, who have a need at the position after trading away former first-round pick D.J. Moore to the Bears in their deal for the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Thielen scored a whopping 10 touchdowns in the 2021 season despite being limited by injuries, and caught 70 passes for 716 yards and 6 touchdowns in a down year in 2022. His reliable presence should be a boon for whichever quarterback the Panthers draft in April.
