If you are watching this on YouTube, You'll have to forgive this different studio that I'm in tonight because I am producing the Minnesota Wild Game from Excel Energy Center, and that's what we're doing here tonight. That's why I am in a different location. If you're watching this on YouTube, I am not in my usual studio. So bear with me. Enjoy the inside of the Excel Energy Radio production studio. About a bang about a bang whoo. All right, So, topic that came up recently is the reunion of Adam Thielen and the Minnesota Vikings. Is there another topic that brings more conversation or more speculation than coming home stories. When Minnesota Vikings traded for Ricky Rubio, it was all about Ricky Rubio coming home. When Kevin Garnett was traded back to the Minnesota Timberwolves, it was all about Kevin Garnett coming home. Well, the conversation is starting again because according to Diana Russini and some other guy named Jacob Auer Football on Twitter Jacob Robinson, that is one of their eight receiver trades that should happen is the Minnesota Vikings trading for former player and current Panthers wide receiver Adam Thelen, and here's what they had to write about it. They said, Vikings ad Adam Thelen sending the Panthers a conditional twenty twenty six to sixth round pick. The thirty four year old who's expected to practice this week, would returned to his native Minnesota and to a franchise he didn't intend to leave. Back in purple and gold. He can man the slot position for Kevin o'connos offense. But this feels like the Panthers doing the Vikings and my fantasy team a favor, you know, analyzing this situation, this would me in the literal sense, Adam Feeling coming home because he's from Minnesota and he grew up wearing on Randy Moss jersey or Chris Carter jersey, one of those two. But he grew up as a Minnesota Vikings fan. And it's fun to watch Adam Feeling in the purple colors because not only was a Minnesota Vikings fan, but he was a massive underdog. This guy was an undrafted free agent that the Vikings brought on as a special teams guy and then he becomes wide receiver one or wide receiver two. But to the point where Stefan Diggs wanted to leave the Vikings, and he admitted this because Adam Feelin was considered receiver one on the Minnesota Vikings roster next to Stefan Diggs. So Adam Feeling should the Minnesota Vikings pursue him. Well, we all love Adam Deeln. He's thirty four years old. I'm sure he still has a few decent catches or games left at him. But he has only played in three of the Panthers seven games this season because of a hamstring injury. And in those three games, he has eight catches for one hundred and nine yards and he's been targeted twelve times. So in the games he's played, he's been targeted four times per game, and he has eight catches in three games, which is about two to three catches a game in a Panthers uniform this season. He also has one touchdown catch this year. Last year he did receive for one thousand yards. He played in all seventeen games, he was targeted one hundred and thirty seven times, one hundred three catches for over one thousand yards. Now you have to consider the source. Adam Thielen was really the only capable wide receiver on their team. Bryce Young really had nobody else to throw the ball to except for Adam Thielen, and they're basically trailing in every single game last year. So Adam Thielen was really the only available option to Bryce Young, and throwing the ball was really the only viable option the Carolina Panthers had last year because they sucked. So should the Minnesota Vikings pursue Adam Thieln, Sure, why not? But I think we do need to consider the role that Adam Thielen would be playing on the Minnesota Vikings. I don't even know if Adam Thielen would be wide receiver three on the Minnesota Vikings this year because Jalen Naylor has been playing some good ball and he is a talented wide receiver who's finally stayed healthy for the first time in his career. He's played in six games, he started three of those because of the Jordan Addison injury, and he has twelve catches. He has two hundred and thirteen yards three touchdowns. He's a touchdown machine. For the first few weeks of the season, He's scored a touchdown against the Giants. He's scoring a touchdown. I think it was the first three weeks of the year, and I think since then he hasn't scored a touchdown because Jordan Addison reassumed his role as wide receiver two in that pushed Jalen Naylor down to wide receiver three. But at this point in their careers, Jalen Naylor twenty five years old Adam Thieln thirty four years old, I think Jalen Naylor is more valuable than Adam Thieln at this point. He's more athletic, he's reliable, he's speedy, and he can catch. I mean, if Jordan Andison wasn't on this team, Jalen Naylor would be a more than capable wide receiver two, and he's got to be one of the top wide receiver threes in this league. You approved it the first few weeks of the season, so it would be fun to have Adam Thielen back in a Minnesota Vikings uniform. Do I think it could happen? Maybe? I don't know. I don't know what's going on in the Minnesota Vikings locker room. I don't know if they're really considering trading for Adam Thielen. You gotta consider the contract number. You gotta consider so many more things, but it would be fun. I would get excited or aroused by the Minnesota Vikings bringing back Adam Thielen, who they drafted. He's from Minnesota, and you know, for the first time, maybe in the history of sports, a player would literally be coming home to his original state, and that would be pretty cool.
