Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The Minnesota Vikings agreed to a trade with the Carolina Panthers that will reunite them with wide receiver Adam Thielen, the teams announced Wednesday.
The Panthers are to send Thielen, a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Vikings in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round selection.
Thielen, 35, signed with the Panthers in 2023. He spent his first nine seasons with the Vikings, where he evolved from an undrafted free agent into a two-time Pro Bowl selection.
The 11-year veteran totaled 103 catches for 1,014 yards and four scores over 17 starts in his first season with the Panthers. He hauled in 48 catches for 615 yards and five scores in 2024. Thielen missed seven games last season due to a hamstring injury.
