Vikings release of Adam Thielen could end up giving them a positive benefit thanks to smart structuring
The Minnesota Vikings surprised the world on Monday morning when they released veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen. The move wasn't one that the Vikings would have seen coming after trading for him right before the beginning of the season.
On paper, Max Brosmer's journey is awfully similar to Brock Purdy's, and the Vikings reportedly think they might have something special in the undrafted rookie.
The Vikings are likely to add to their defense in the 2026 NFL Draft, and a cornerback may be the position they target.
