I think....the plan was for Burnett to be the starter (at SS) and work in Edmunds on sub pkgs (LY 1st rd pick) as the season went along.

True to historical form...Burnett was nicked up in camp and not ready for week one...Edmunds got the SS job and played well enough to keep it when Burnett returned...so essentially he played the role that Edmunds was likely going to play...It probably was going to be more of the same this season, Burnett requested a release...he was shopped around in trade, but no takers. Now with Mark Barron signed there was no need for Burnett's services.

Are they moving Barron back to safety? Rams used him at LB.

ILB for sure. but Bostic was a decent run stopper...he might keep that role on 1st down, but a lot of people expect Barron to be a 3 down ILB. Worse case he will be a 2 down ILB and may get snaps as a 3rd S.

Adam Thielen signed a 4 year extension worth up to 73 million...... 35 million is guaranteed. Wow.

Tough choices in this day and age. I really like this guy. If I have the cap space I do it. But he alone will not give them a SB.

He's a top 5 WR in the game, he deserves this money for sure.

is he? im being 100% serious, if you gave james white those targets, what does he do? and hes a rb

You are comparing him to a RB? Lol

He is not a top 5 TALENT wise but production wise, yes. He definitely deserves the contract, that is a lot of dough though. Still worth it imo

By that measure, what WR is any good at all? Dude makes some really tough catches, and he's still a younger guy.

He does . Juju is good, so is obj just saying



Sure it is:comeatmebro:both of yah lol

Line James up vs WR’s all day and see if he gets 1300 and 9. He is going up against LB’s pretty much all day

Maybe Thielen isnt top 5 but he is close and is a big part of that Minny offense

Out of OBJ, Thomas, Julio, Evans, Thielen, AJ Green, AB, Hopkins, Hill, Adams, you can make a top 5 and it'd be hard to be wrong.

I am happy for him.
He is a WR that earned it. Wasnt about Pedigree or potential like so many other WRs get paid for.
Lets face it. He wouldnt have 100+ receptions if he wasnt doing his job. 74 of which moved the chains.
He isnt a one trick pony. Runs all the routes of all depths. he does it with a Meh Quarterback.
Good hands. Good route runner. Sounds like a team guy (good in locker room)
Seriously. Whats not to like? The fact he wasnt a big name coming out of college? If this was a top ten pick that accomplished all he has done. Would you be asking this question still?

I am glad he got paid.

He 64 mil over 4 years is 16 mil a yr.
People claim Cooper should be getting 18 a yr & didnt even play for us the whole year. No one is questioning that.
Theilen has done more. Why question his importance to that team.

you cant compare RB receptions to WR receptions.
WRs are trying to beat their coverage (31 CBs) who is on the everyplay from beginning of play to end.
RBs dont deal with the same scenario to catch a ball unless they line up on line as a WR. They dont run all the same patterns. Honestly I see this comparison as Apples & Oranges.
