Carolina Panthers Land Veteran Wide Receiver

The Carolina Panthers made the shocking trade to move up to No. 1 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, and in doing so, they gave up their top wide receiver in D.J. Moore, so now, they are looking to fill that position for the likely QB they take at No. 1 overall.

On Sunday, they made exactly that happen, as they have officially signed former Minnesota Vikings star Adam Thielen, and while he's not going to be enough to replace Moore, he will no doubt be a good addition to this young team.

In nine seasons with Minnesota, Thielen has racked up 534 catches for 6,682 yards and 55 Touchdowns, and while he's no longer the star we saw in 2017 and 2018, he's more than capable of being their No. 1 going forward.
