After nine seasons with the Vikings, former All-Pro wide receiver Adam Thielen’s time in Minnesota may be coming to an end.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that there is a “real possibility” that the Vikings release Thielen in the coming days, as the two sides prepare to meet. Thielen, 32, is coming off a season in which he caught 70 passes for 716 yards and six touchdowns.
The veteran has taken a step back in the Vikings offense as Justin Jefferson has emerged as perhaps the NFL’s best wide receiver. His last 1,000-yard campaign came in 2018, though he had a strong 924-yard season in ’20, catching a career-high 14 touchdowns.
