Interesting take on the Vikings and trading from NESN and Ian Rappaport

One of the hottest names on the NFL trade rumor mill is Adam Thielen.

But is there a realistic shot the Vikings deal the star wideout before the Nov. 3 trade deadline?

Well, yes and no, according to CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora. Minnesota appears willing to make moves — Exhibit A: the Yannick Ngakoue trade — but is less intent on moving Thielen, a two-time Pro Bowler.

From La Canfora’s column published Sunday morning:

While the team has tried to quell a sense that a firesale is afoot with its public remarks, the reality is the (Yannick) Ngakoue trade sent a distinct signal to other contending clubs and led to an outpouring of inquiries about the team’s roster. League sources said it’s possible that receiver Adam Thielen is dealt before the deadline, but not likely, while there was an expectation among other executives that Minnesota is very open to moving safety Harrison Smith, left tackle Riley Reiff and tight end Kyle Rudolph if they can find the right takers.

Added an NFL general manager: “They try to push Rudolph but the guy we want is (Irv) Smith. They don’t want to trade the young guys. But, yeah, they will push out more salary if they can.”

Thielen, 30, is in the midst of another solid season. He has 32 catches for 415 yards to go along with a league-high seven receiving touchdowns.

Maybe a team like the Ravens would give up a #1 for Thielen, their window is NOW. Soon they will have to pay their QB $40 million a year. A guy like Thielen with great hands would be a perfect match for Jackson, who isn't an elite passer.

Plus, he'd still be wearing Purple, so we've got that going for us, which is.... nice. [8|]

My wife might not even notice for awhile, that he switched teams

My first jersey too, that I paid for. See avatar. [:D] If we trade him I can still wear it proudly.

I try to block you out when I look at your avatar.

Should have had a Cousins jersey

Except in this case, your house probably would burn to the ground.

Do you watch the Rams or Chiefs (after watching our "offense") and wonder "are those plays even legal?". They are so movement centric that they really look illegal.

SOMEONE finally figured out how lucky Seattle has been
Fun win by the Cards
What a roller coaster
So tired of seeing Wilson win every one of those
This Murray kid is fun to watch.

Terrible INT after the holding call nullified the TD. 3 INT's for the Annointed MVP after a few weeks of the season. Fun game.

Both teams have it figured out. You need to score as many as possible to win. Gas pedal to the floor the entire game.

Play of the year fizzles if your team loses. Heck of an effort by Metcalf. Dude can fly, but they sure had him covered in routes, with only 2 catches. Lockett 200 yards and 3 scores. And they lose.

Still speechless on the Metcalf play
You see all the speed out there, most guys are just a fraction or two ahead or behind

I would be bummed if they traded Thielen. William is threatening to give up being a Vikings fan if they do.

And I'm not surprised teams don't want the guys the Vikings over-valued. Who wants Rudolph or Rieff??

They spent a lot of money for not a lot of production from multiple players. Not just this year. And from what I believe I saw, are in massive cap jail next year.

That's some brilliant front office work.

I’d like to see the Vikings sell off a bit at the trade deadline. Mike Zimmer is a good coach who isn’t going anywhere and they deserve some capital after years of picking toward the back of the pack.

Wow

I told someone the other day while watching the Chiefs, "there HAS to be like 15 of them on the field"
Swear to God, they always have at least one guy uncovered.
All good teams are that way
Hockey, the good teams always feel like they have an extra
Basketball, every rebound or loose ball goes right where their "extra" guy is
Football, there just aren't enough guys to cover everyone
Its beautiful to watch when its done well, unfortunately, its almost always against the teams I like. [X(]
