Just when it seemed like all the talk around the Carolina Panthers trading veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen had gone away, one notable development around the league brought the speculation back to the forefront.
Thielen has been the subject of intense trade speculation over the last year, at least within the media. The Panthers have shown no desire to remove their most consistent route-runner and pass-catcher from the equation, even giving him a pay rise this offseason in recognition of his exceptional accomplishments since joining the squad.
That hasn't stopped the rumor mill from swirling.
