The Minnesota Vikings released Adam Thielen last week in a move to save about $6 million against the salary cap after 10 years with his hometown team. Now, in the first 36 hours of the NFL’s “legal tampering” period, it appears that there has been some buzz regarding the veteran receiver. According to reports by Evan Massey, there are three teams that appear as the leaders in the Thielen sweepstakes. Those teams are the following:
- Indianapolis Colts
- Kansas City Chiefs
- New York Giants
Thielen, 32, caught 70 passes for 716 yards and 6 TDs in 2022 for the Vikings.
