Vikings waive wide receiver Adam Thielen to allow veteran to pursue more playing time elsewhere

The Minnesota Vikings have waived wide receiver Adam Thielen to allow the 13-year veteran an opportunity for more playing time elsewhere down the stretch of his expected final NFL...
DECEMBER 1, 2025 • Associated Press
Cut by Minnesota The Vikings waived Thielen on Monday.
Impact Thielen announced on social media Monday that the 2025 season will be his last in the NFL, and he'd like the opportunity to play for a contender over the final five weeks of the season. Acquired from the Panthers ahead of Week 1, Thielen started three of the first four games of the season while Jordan Addison was suspended, but Thielen's role has continued to shrink ever since. After playing just three offensive snaps in Week 12, Thielen was a heathy inactive for Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seahawks. On the year, Thielen has an 8-69-0 receiving line on 18 targets across 11 games. The 35-year-old doesn't appear to have a whole lot left in the tank.

Trio of key Vikings ruled out, with Adam Thielen is unexpectedly inactive Minnesota will be without the left side of its starting offensive line against the Seahawks.
NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • SI.COM
Healthy scratch Week 13 Thielen (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Impact The veteran wide receiver's role in the offense has noticeably dipped since the Vikings' Week 6 bye, and Thielen will be an observer for Sunday's road game in Seattle. His absence means Tai Felton and Myles Price will be the rotational wideouts for the Vikings behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor. Thielen's next opportunity to play is Week 14 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 7, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless there is an injury to the Vikings' wide receiver corps.
NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Another drop in loss Thielen had a drop on his only target in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. He played just three snaps on offense.
Impact Thielen has dropped a pass in consecutive games and has three this season, according to Pro Football Focus. He's arguably failed to secure more catchable balls than he has receptions (eight) this season. With Minnesota falling out of playoff contention, Thielen may see little playing time the rest of the season.

Just one reception in loss Thielen had one reception for six yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Chicago.
Impact Thielen played just eight of the Vikings' 55 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Minnesota's No. 4 wide receiver. He had another drop as he's arguably failed to secure more catchable balls than he has receptions (eight) this season. With Minnesota's struggles in the passing game, there doesn't appear to any upside for Thielen the rest of the season.

Two catches against Ravens Thielen caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.
Impact Thielen played just nine of the Vikings' 65 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Minnesota's No. 4 wide receiver. The veteran wideout's two receptions in the contest were his first grabs since Week 7. Since teammate Jordan Addison returned from his three-game suspension in Week 4, Thielen is averaging roughly 10 snaps per game. With such limited opportunities, the 35-year-old remains far off the fantasy radar heading into Week 11 matchup against the Bears.

No receptions in loss Thielen did not have a reception on his only target in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.
Impact Thielen has arguably failed to secure more catchable balls than he has receptions (five) this season, as the ball thrown his way could have been listed as a drop. He played on just 12 of the offense's 49 snaps despite the team falling behind early, which doesn't bode well for his future usage.

Continued minimal role Thielen had one reception for ten yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Thielen played just eight snaps on offense but was part of the passing attack after failing to get a target last week. He's unlikely to have a larger role in the offense unless one of the top three receivers is injured.
