Booming receiver market has Adam Thielen excited for ‘future opportunities’

Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, Davante Adams and even Christian Kirk all got paid in the offseason. There’s a time and place for everything, but if the latest trend of receivers netting massive contracts continues, Minnesota Vikings receiver Adam Thielen is hoping the day comes when he gets paid, too.

“Yeah, it makes me want to play the game a few more years. It’s going pretty well for wide receivers,” said Thielen, when appearing on NFL Network. …Excited for [the guys that are getting paid] and also, it doesn’t hurt my future opportunities at all.”

Thielen is already doing well for himself playing on a $64 million deal.
