During the 2023 NFL offseason, veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen found himself in an unusual situation. After being cut by the Minnesota Vikings, he became a free agent. He ultimately signed with the Carolina Panthers, although he recently disclosed that his dream team was the Kansas City Chiefs.
Adam Thielen was looking for a new squad to play for for the first time in his career. The Vikings had been his home team for the first nine years of his career, but they were prepared to move on.
The impact of the salary cap was significant because he owed a substantial amount of money. The squad let him go in an effort to save money and get younger.
The seasoned pass catcher stated in a recent interview that the Chiefs were the team he wanted to sign. However, there was no return of the interest.
At the American Century Championship, Thielen addressed Starcade Media about the Chiefs’ lack of interest in him in 2023. “Well, I was trying to go there and they didn’t want me.” “When we square off, I’ll have to try to show them what I got.”
The Chiefs may come to regret their lack of interest in Adam Thielen given the problems they encountered at wide receiver in 2023. Unfortunately, it didn’t come at a cost.
Despite their deficiencies at wide receiver, the Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl the previous season. Given how difficult his first season with the Carolina Panthers was, Thielen would have loved to be a member of a winning club.
With a 2-15 record, the Carolina Panthers were the NFL’s worst team in 2023. This offseason, the squad made some significant changes in light of their struggles.
A deliberate attempt was made to improve Bryce Young’s supporting cast. Despite Adam Thielen’s excellent play as a rookie, the first choice in the 2023 NFL Draft had difficulties.
He had his most productive season in 2023. With 103 receptions, he gained 1,14 yards, and four scores. The yardage and receptions were his most since the 2018 campaign, the last time he was selected to the Pro Bowl.
On November 24, the Chiefs will visit the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Adam Thielen will be driven to play well in that game and prove to Kansas City that he is still a valuable player.
