CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Adam Thielen will help fill the void of a veteran wide receiver the Carolina Panthers lost when they included DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears for the first pick of the NFL draft.
The Panthers announced Sunday they reached a deal with Thielen. The deal is for three years, a league source told ESPN.
Thielen met with the Panthers in Charlotte last week as he began exploring free agency. Although he left without a contract, a league source said there was mutual interest between the parties in putting together a deal.
