If their wiki looks like this then you can be sure the Chiefs will try and sign them when they come onto the market.Not many teams out there don't take "poor character" players. Chiefs just took Omenihu, who has legal issues for domestic violence hanging over him, they also had Hill and were/are interested in Tunsil. The NFL is littered with people who if they played sport in this country would be hounded out of their careers. It's an interesting topic.

Get their hopes up in the offseason, and then patiently wait till Christmas, new year.The Cowboys have traded for Brandin Cooks.

Hurst, Dalton, Bell, a couple of O & D lineman, & have the first pick (probably Stroud if they keep it). For the Panthers, this has been a successful offseason thus far.Who else did they get ?
Forgot about Sanders. Yep, the offense is still lagging significantly behind their defense, but they have improved it from last year. Just having an offense-oriented HC will improve them from last year's HC (who did rather well but was defense-oriented).They also signed Miles Sanders but that's still a garbage offense imo, Thielen is washed apart from still being a redzone threat probably.
CJ Gardner-Johnson to the Lions on a one-year, $8m deal - great signing by Detroit. Their defense should be much improved, especially if draft an elite D-line talent at #6.
Lamar Jackson waived.
Panthers might have a team this year...
Minge benefitThat's quite a fringe benefit

He is a bit past it. He lost a lot of speed and isn't as effective when it comes to contested catches.
Didn't he have a bad leg/ankle injury as well a year or two back? Yep, 2021.
He had an injury but his issue seems to be a normal decline. For the Vikings he would have ideally been WR3 because he is still good in the endzone but the Panthers shouldn't expect to get the great player that he used to be.
You're right though, it's normal decline and the injury sped up the decline. He's in the end of his career and can be a leader again at a different team. Panthers don't have a QB even close to Cousins, so their expectations should be heavily tempered when it comes to a new WR. Great add from a team perspective and developing locker room culture under Reich.
My only issue for the Panthers is that at this point he isn't a WR1 but refuses to accept that idea. Beyond the fact that his contract made cutting him obvious for the Vikings, he was also complaining about his role and the fact that the offense was heavily built around JJ and later JJ+Hockenson. That's a particular issue when you consider the fact that he had 107 targets which is way more than he deserved.
So I hope that Reich either finds a way to give him easy targets or that Thielen accepts his decline.
Oh wow, didn't realize he had that much volume. His receiving yards per target is also declining, which is evident the fact his longest reception was about 35 yards.
What was the offensive season like for Minnesota under Kevin O'Connell?
I know all about JJ, Cousins, and Hockenson and Cook. Those 3 player makers are really good with JJ being All Pro.
Hardman just went to the Jets, apparently.The season was pretty good especially when you consider that it was KOC's first season as a play caller. The passing offense was easily in the top 5, it was second in total yards with little garbage time yards due to the defense being historically bad. The rushing offense was bottom third of the league due to a combination of play calling(low amount of attempts), below average run blocking and Cook declining.
With JJ, Hockenson, a WR2, KJ Osborne as WR3 and Oliver as TE2 the passing offense should be close to unplayable.
Edit: There are talks about Mecole Hardman being in talks with the Vikings.

Makes sense to get a 2nd for him if the Packers weren’t particularly interested, I guess. Now they’ve got some additional picks for the Rodgers trade.Elijah Moore to the Browns. I thought after the Hardman deal he was a cert for the Pack as part of the deal for AAron.
