Vikings Could Release Adam Thielen Soon
2 years agoThere's a real possibility that the Minnesota Vikings part ways with wide receiver Adam Thielen in the coming days, which would allow the two-time Pro Bowl wideout to become a free agent, according to sources. The two sides will talk in the coming days, but Thielen's time in Minnesota could soon be coming to an end. The 32-year-old has declined in recent seasons and has seen his role shrink. He's also set to make roughly $20 million in 2023 and is entering his age-33 campaign. If the Vikings move on from Thielen, it could mean big things are in store for slot man K.J. Osborn in 2023 in the team's pass-happy offense. In 17 starts in 2022, Thielen had 70 receptions on 107 targets for 716 yards (career-low 10.2 yards per catch) and six touchdowns.
