Adam Thielen’s time with the Minnesota Vikings has come to an end.
The Minnesota Vikings are parting ways with the franchise icon for a second time. The team released the veteran wideout on Monday at his request, allowing the 35-year-old to finish his career with another franchise.
Thielen and the Vikings confirmed the news with posts on social media Monday.
The team said Thielen approached them about wanting to finish out his NFL career in a competitive situation. The Vikings decided to grant that wish, as they had no chance of doing anything in 2025.
Adam Thielen confirmed as much, saying this will be his final season in the NFL and he wanted to compete over the final weeks of his career.
