The Facts: Cut last week after spending his entire career in Minnesota, Thielen is looking for a new team. His search begins in Carolina. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Thielen is expected to visit the Panthers on Wednesday.

Diehards Line: With D.J. Moore due to be traded to the Bears, the Panthers will have needs at the receiver position. And Thielen has proven that he can contribute at a high level. Last year, Thielen caught 70 passes for 716 yards and six touchdowns. He has a pair of 1,000-yard seasons. In 2017, he gained 1,276 yards on 91 catches. The next year, he had a career high 113 catches for 1,373 yards. He made it to the Pro Bowl both years. No other team has been publicly linked to Thielen, who became a free agent the moment he was released.
