CHARLOTTE — The Panthers parlayed their depth at wide receiver and ability to develop there into a deal that adds to their future draft capital.

Wednesday morning, the team agreed to trade veteran wideout Adam Thielen to the Vikings for a collection of future picks.

The Panthers will receive a 2026 fifth-rounder and a 2027 fourth-rounder from the Vikings.

They'll give the Vikings Thielen, a conditional 2026 seventh-rounder, and a 2027 fifth-rounder.

That's effectively the value of a fourth-round pick, which the Vikings didn't have at the moment.

Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, Tetairoa McMillan

Thielen, who just turned 35, caught 103 passes for the Panthers in 2023, after signing here as a free agent. Despite missing seven games with a hamstring injury last year, he added another 48 catches for 615 yards and five touchdowns.

He spent his first nine seasons with the Vikings, catching 534 passes for 6,682 yards and 55 touchdowns, and going to two Pro Bowls.

The Panthers kept seven wide receivers on their initial 53-man roster.

They still have first-round picks Xavier Legette and Tetairoa McMillan, along with Jalen Coker, David Moore, Brycen Tremayne, and Jimmy Horn Jr..
