>>Thielen Returns To Minnesota
(Eagan, MN) — Adam Thielen is coming home. The Vikings acquired the Pro Bowl wide receiver in a trade with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday. Minnesota sent a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick to Carolina and also received a conditional seventh-round pick in 2026 and a 2027 fifth-round selection. Thielen was born in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, and he signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota State-Mankato in 2013.

Rice received 30 days in jail and five years’ probation per the court ruling.
