Vikings Sign New Receiver, Reunite Him With Kevin O’Connell

The Vikings’ receiving room is in a transition period. It used to be Adam Thielen’s room, paired with another star. However, that changed once the Vikings released the veteran prior to the start of free agency. He is now under contract with the Carolina Panthers. For the first time since 2012, the Vikings don’t have Thielen on the roster.

After releasing Thomas Hennigan on Tuesday, the purple team had to add some more bodies to the group. Only six receivers were left: Justin Jefferson, K.J. Osborn, Jalen Reagor, Jalen Nailor, Blake Proehl, and Trishton Jackson.
