Adam Thielen is heading back to Minnesota.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Vikings and Carolina Panthers are working out a trade that would send the veteran wide receiver, along with a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick, to Minnesota for a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick and a fifth-round pick in 2027.
Thielen played for the Vikings from 2013-2022 and left in free agency in 2023 to sign a three-year $25 million contract with the Panthers. He played 27 games over the past two seasons in Carolina, recording 151 receptions for 1,629 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
