Over the past few years, the Minnesota Vikings front office has become known for their ability to retain some of their top players with deals that don’t gouge the team’s future financial situation. Adam Thielen’s new extension with the Vikings is the latest example of this.
Thielen and Minnesota agreed to a four-year extension last Friday that is worth approximately $64.2 million. The veteran wide receiver can reportedly earn up to $73 million from the new deal with incentives.
Looking closer at the details of Thielen’s extension with the Vikings, it includes $33 million in guarantees, but only $14.
