Vikings receiver Adam Thielen was a healthy scratch on Sunday vs. the Seahawks, and now the reasoning behind that decision makes a bit more sense. On Monday, Minnesota posted a statement revealing that the team has waived the veteran receiver after he requested to move on from the team.
Thielen is playing his final NFL season, and he hopes to join a team that is considered a playoff contender, which Minnesota is not at the moment. The Vikings lost 26–0 to the Seahawks on Sunday to drop to 4–8 on the season.
