EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The “dotted line” business has been accomplished, and now it’s back to the “between the lines” business for Adam Thielen.
The Vikings wide receiver signed a multiyear contract with his home-state team that was officially announced on Tuesday.
Minnesota had placed a second-round tender on Thielen when free agency began but wanted to bring back the former undrafted rookie (2013) for several more seasons.
Another team could have made an offer, but the Vikings would have been able to match, or they would have received compensation if they couldn’t match another offer.
