Trade speculation continues to rise about the Minnesota Vikings potentially acquiring wide receiver Adam Thielen. The Carolina Panthers are holding firm, but the NFC North club is loading up on assets before potentially striking.
Several respected national insiders reported that the Vikings had inquired about Thielen's availability. This would be an emotional homecoming for the veteran, who rose from undrafted obscurity to become a two-time Pro Bowler in Minnesota. However, general manager Dan Morgan isn't going to give the accomplished pass-catcher away just for sentiment.
The Panthers know how valuable Thielen is.
