Vikings to release WR Adam Thielen after storied run
Vikings release WR Adam Thielen after 9 seasons.
The Minnesota Vikings released wide receiver Adam Thielen on Friday after nine seasons.
The 32-year-old Minnesota native and undrafted free agent from a Division II school became a two-time Pro Bowl selection and the third-leading receiver in franchise history.
Only Hall of Famers Cris Carter and Randy Moss caught more passes in a Vikings uniform than Thielen (534).
His release is a cost-cutting move for Minnesota, which will save about $6.4 million against the salary cap in 2023 while taking a dead-cap hit of $13.6 million.
"Adam will forever be a part of the Minnesota Vikings family and history," general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said in a statement Friday. "Setting the standard with his play on the field, being a selfless teammate, and making a permanent impact in the community, Adam's influence is significant. We are grateful for everything he brought to the Vikings organization since arriving in 2013, and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to work with him over the last year. He is the best representation of what the Minnesota Vikings should stand for."
