Adam Thelen was one of the few bright spots of the 2023 Carolina Panthers, hitting 100 receptions and 1,000 yards for the first time since 2018. But an injury has kept him off the field since Week 3, and he finds himself in a precarious situation when he returns.

Diontae Johnson is there, and so is Xavier Legette. Jonathan Mingo, while disappointing so far, still has time to improve. And that makes him the "old man" out.

Both he and the 49ers want to return to winning ways, and there may be no better way for them to achieve such goals than a trade.
