Eh I think we can do better than Theilan

[undertow]

A Theilan Davis swap would be a major upgrade.

[Sonny Werblin]

but can he run block? 

[the Claw]

I’m related to the Thielens. He should just retire a Viking.

[Joe Willie White Shoes]

Let's just bring in every old washed up player that other teams are putting out with the trash.  Absolutely not on Thielen.  He is more than done.

He had 70 catches last year Corey Davis had 30....if you can get him for the same price I would call that an upgrade

[Beerfish]

The guy was great when they had him join the hosts at the combine.  This dude is going to be an NFL GM or exec one day.

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

He’s totally washed 

Hard pass

Does he know all the wr positions ?

I've seen some dumb responses but this thread takes the cake.

They will have plenty of money to spend, no cap issues this year. They’re all in.

The Jets aren't bringing in a 20 mil dollar WR when they already have Wilson on the team and breaking the bank for a QB...they will most likely bring in Lazard or a Thielen type to replace Davis.

[Hex]

there are better options than Thielen.

[56mehl56]

If he hits FA due to Daniel Jones and Barkley's new deals I'd definitely be interested in Darius Slayton from the NYG.

Does he know all 5 WR spots?

That is only required in L.A.

[BigRy56]

This is definitely the kind of guy that could latch on the AR12 led Jets and be productive

[Dunnie]

I always liked him ... is he completely washed ? Dude had serious chops.

[LAD_Brooklyn]

Tell AR12 to restructure so we can add his buddy to the squad. 

With me it's all depends on price.

DeAndre Hopkins is a better option, even when considering trade value. Getting a WR in the draft is a better option in terms of price and longevity. 

In my opinion Lazard is a better option than Thielen, but that one is more subjective.

Jakobi Meyers might be available too, and I would prefer him over Thielen too.

They should have at least one veteran WR in the huddle imo. That's been Davis, but only for half the games lol. I guess they have a veteran TE, but meh.

No one would doubt the upside of a day 1-2 WR is way better (and cheaper and for more years) but the senior veteran WRs shouldn't be a toss up between Mims or Moore.

That's why I pointed out DeAndre Hopkins. I view him as a better option than Thielen, and he would still be a vet WR.

Isn’t Thielen more of a Z / slot receiver? We need a big X receiver

[SAM SAM HE'S OUR MAN]

Pick him up and cut Corey Davis .

[Beerfish]

He had to pay $500 of his own money to attend some regional combine as an UDFA.

[Rangers9]

He is really very good. Not sure except for money why Minny would want to cut him. 

[Barry McCockinner]

if we're going the old WR route it should be DeAndre Hopkins, not this guy. 

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

It was a good run for him as a UDFA but dude is washed

Agreed - if we get Rodgers, Nuk is the guy to go for. He has a serious issue with the dropsies, but you shrug that off because Rodgers would be able to work through that and Nuk brings so much else to the table.
