Welcome to Thor Talks Purple.

Hello and welcome into Thor Talks Purple.

It's a Thursday edition and we have a full mailbag to get through.

So let's hop right into it, AJ. Absolutely. This first one, first off, I do want to say thank you before we even do get into the mailbag, though. Great questions again. Great questions once again. And I know it sounds like a broken record week after week because I do express, we express our gratitude about the questions that people submit. But frankly, they are just so good and it would take me hours to, like, construct some of the question because I just don't, you know, it's awesome having people kind of filter in here. So 100%. First one comes with us from Blake Harzma, who emails in. He says, hey, AJ, appreciate you and Thor's work with Score North. You guys post great content. Thank you very much, Blake. That's very kind of you. He says, I just had a quick thought. I wanted to share with you guys. Since the Vikings brought in Nolan Teasley, I thought about a particular trade that the Seattle Seahawks made a few years back, the D.K. Metcalf trade. Do you think Nolan Teasley is with the Vikings, and now that he's in the GM role, he could trade Justin Jefferson

similarly to how they did with D.K. Metcalfe for a huge haul and then make Jordan Addison

the new wide receiver one similarly, like how the Seahawks promoted JSN. And we know how that worked

out with Jackson Smith and Jigba. So, Thor, your thoughts on Nolan Teasley potentially doing a D.K. Metcalfe 2.0 in Minnesota, but this time with Justin Jefferson.

I think in general, we know that Nolan Teesie will be aggressive with trades. And the value

point that he puts on a player, he'll make trades, Seattle made trades over the years that were wildly unpopular in the moment,

but they were comfortable with the value that they were getting,

and they ended up getting vindicated on the other side of most of them.

As for the D.K. Metcalf trade in particular,

I think the analog to that wouldn't be Jefferson.

I would think that would be Addison, right? And Metcalf was, at the time that that trade happened, he was heading towards

a big extension, which is one of the factors, obviously, that ended up leading to that trade.

But it was the Seahawks trade at Metcalf for a second round pick this was in 2025 there was also

that was primarily the deal there was also a late round pick swap that was in that but metcalf then

signed a four year 132 million dollar extension with the steelers you go one off season from now

uh like a year into the future.

Jordan Addison will be heading into the last year of his rookie deal.
