After benching Bryce Young, the Carolina Panthers face yet another rebuild, which means they could deal veterans like Adam Thielen for a future draft pick who can help the team in 2025 and beyond.
After spending his early years with the Minnesota Vikings, Thielen joined the Panthers last year in what may have been the organization's sole smart decision.
As the offense's only trustworthy target, the wide receiver finished the season with 103 receptions for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns.
Adam Thielen kept his starting spot in 2024 and will remain with the Panthers unless he is traded.
However, he is 34 years old and nearing the conclusion of his career rather than the beginning.
Given that he has no guaranteed money on his contract after this season, the two-time Pro Bowler will most likely play elsewhere in 2025
so why wouldn't Carolina trade him to a contender like the Kansas City Chiefs or the Los Angeles Chargers?
Despite winning the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs began the offseason with a clear need at wide receiver.
