Panthers' biggest winner from Adam Thielen trade is painfully obvious

The Carolina Panthers took seven wide receivers onto their initial 53-man roster. It didn't take long to figure out why.

After some fierce negotiations, a trade agreement between the Panthers and Minnesota Vikings was struck for veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen. The smoke was there for a few days before, and Morgan drove a hard bargain before moving Carolina's most consistent pass-catcher from the equation.

And the biggest winner from this transaction, apart from Thielen, is painfully obvious.
