The Vikings had to save some cap space, and Adam Thielen had to pack his bags, a bummer for many Vikings fans. He had to leave just a few days after GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah released linebacker Eric Kendricks. Both were longtime pillars of the organization.
Kendricks has agreed to join the Los Angeles Chargers, which means the California native is about to go home. He agreed to a two-year deal for $13.25 million and will now play for head coach Brandon Staley, a defensive-minded head coach like Mike Zimmer in his tenure in Minnesota.
Adam Thielen might be close to joining a new team, too.
