Finally, the Vikings agreed to a package that involved a fifth-round pick in 2026 and a fourth-round pick in 2027 to the Panthers, in exchange for Thielen, a conditional seventh-round pick in 2026 and a fifth-round pick in 2027.\n\nAnother key factor was Thielen&#8217;s contract. The Panthers had given him a $1.5 million raise during the offseason, bringing his total compensation to $7 million for 2025. During negotiations, the Panthers refused to cover a portion of Thielen&#8217;s salary. Thielen&#8217;s decision to accept the pay cut was crucial to finalizing the deal.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Obviously, you know without me saying it, how much this place means to me.
