The Minnesota Vikings are waiving Adam Thielen just three months after trading two draft picks for the fan-favorite wide receiver. The team announced the move on Monday, saying Thielen's team asked for his release because of "his desire to play a bigger role in the remaining weeks of what he has indicated will be his final NFL season." "Adam is one of the all-time great Vikings, and we wish him and his family continued success," general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said in a statement.
Main Idea: Adam Thielen is being released by the Minnesota Vikings just three months after the team brought him back in a trade.
Key Points:
The Vikings’ failed trade and weak offense can disappoint fans and waste team money, which may frustrate taxpayers and ticket buyers who expect better results.
Thielen’s release may give a veteran player a better chance to play and end his career on a stronger note.
