The Minnesota Vikings are looking for another wide receiver before the 2025 campaign. Almost immediately, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen was linked with a move back to where it all began.
And the momentum has skyrocketed ever since.
There aren't many people associated with the Vikings that doesn't think trading for Thielen is a good idea. He's experienced, loves the franchise, remains beloved by the fan base, and is still performing at a high level. The Panthers potentially letting their most consistent pass-catcher leave is a contentious topic, but it cannot be completely ruled out if the compensation is sufficient.
