As a lifelong Viking fan, he was the most determined Wide receiver we Ever had! Moss, both Carters had pure talent.. 19 needs to be in the ring of honor! Thank you Mr.Thielen!
Such an inspiration. A rare monk-style receiver. Good knowledge and awareness. What made him excel was his understanding of how to play the game as a receiver. Looking back at this footage he had underrated athleticism.
Thank you Adam Thielen for all of your Awesome plays ▶️ and good presence in the loker room always positive... you my friend are one of the Greatest Receivers in Vikings History not to mention your UDFA from special teams blocking punts and scoring touchdowns to that really long stretch of 100 yard games in a row.. and that one game 2 touchdowns and 200+ yards your a TOUCHDOWN MACHINE 👏 I would love to see you go chase a Ring.. good luck brother
He’s a WR on his way out. He’s not going to “carry” a team. Maybe a role player of sorts. His productivity has declined the past few years and he wasn’t worth the cap hit anymore. Hence the release.
Favorite player ever on the vikings this man is a class act and it hurt to hear he was cut . Going to be watching the panthers and cheering for him down there and I've watched the vikes my whole life . Thanks for the great years in Minnesota Adam! You're an inspiration to us all !
Imagine if they ever gave cousins and offensive line. The dude is mr reliable while getting destroyed season after season; just dropping dimes the whole time. Its crazy.
the Anouncer saying mr. Minnesota at the end their hits me right in the feels. on the bright side if he ends up with anyone but the packers or jets (if rogers goes there) then i will have a new team to root for all year
I don't often think much about the turnover in the NFL these days, but Adam grew on me, as he did for many. And a great, home grown story as well. Best of luck, Adam. And thank you.
Adam will always be one of my favorite Vikings. Such an amazing story and an even better guy. Wish him nothing but the best for the remainder of his career
Adding THIS to my favorites/likes playlist! My fav TD’s of his (Vikings) career is that Lambeau Leap and “Are You Not Entertained?!” ones. Skol AT19! He will be missed…
Don’t worry we definitely mark him as a all time Vikings favorite. He’s had a long career with us and we’ve appreciated all of it he’s just getting closer to retirement we aren’t trying to leave him on a bad note but the team has to make there own moves especially with our salary cap issue.
I’m so sad that we let him go cause he is an amazing player but he does deserve better cause he didn’t get much love with the ball this season but wherever he ends up he will have a season he will be missed in Minnesota
Damn this sucks, but I understand the business side of the NFL, he can still retire someday as a Viking but I wish him the best of luck with whatever team he lands with.
I hate that he’s gone. He clutch af. I hope big things happen fer him. Hope he retires a Viking. Plays here before he retires. I know that sounds too much but he’s from MN and we need him back lol SKOL
All this kid ever did was make catches. He has hands like fly paper. I hope he gets a chance to play on a contending team for a few more years as I believe he has a few good years left in him.
Adam Thelin is the man probably my favorite Viking receiver of all time but I can't forget the rest of them either because they have had quite a few like, Cris Carter Randy Moss Sammy Witte Amad Rashad ect....... man I hate to see him go
It had to happen sometime. It is never easy to cut someone. However, if he hasn’t totally lost his ability, they guy catches his share of touchdowns. He knows how to get open in the red zone. Who couldn’t use this?
It's too bad they didn't look to him more instead of making believe that HE wasn't as productive. Duh! Got rid of a great player, and I hope he does a lot better on the Carolina team!
He'll be taking a substantial pay cut to play somewhere else. Why not take a pay cut and stay? I'll never understand why these players towards the end of their careers won't be sensible about their market value and face reality.

😪A sad day indeed. Thanks for the memories. He will be missed, especially in the red zone.
Not as a Panthers fan 😂
As a lifelong Viking fan, he was the most determined Wide receiver we Ever had! Moss, both Carters had pure talent.. 19 needs to be in the ring of honor! Thank you Mr.Thielen!
Thank you Adam. Looking forward to you entering the Ring of Honor. A Viking legend that will not be forgotten.
I have thought of that, too! And now the 3 left are getting too arrogant just cuz Aaron Rodgers is out of our conference.
Such an inspiration. A rare monk-style receiver. Good knowledge and awareness. What made him excel was his understanding of how to play the game as a receiver. Looking back at this footage he had underrated athleticism.
They disrespect him by thinking they can just play him safe, and catch him.
one of my favorite current players, he was so loyal to his home state and its unfortunate that he got cut, good luck to him and wherever he lands
For some awesome reason i will always remember that first TD blocked punt....it started it all.
We will miss old reliable. What a career. Best of luck to AT19!
The dude used to be WIDE open. When he lost a step, it really showed.
lol
Once a legend always a legend
Put him in the Ring of Honor tomorrow. Some of the catches....just wow. Thanks, Adam.

Going to miss you Adam wherever you go I'm here you'll carry that team as a lifelong Viking fan this one really hurt 🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕

I know he's a wide receiver he could be a good role model for the younger receivers
@@Ericg0027well he got 1000 yards on the shitty panthers 😂
The best undrafted free agent that I can remember. Clutch!

It’s crazy to see how many of his tds came from cousins.
First jersey was thielen.. what a career!
Hopefully we drop Cousins soon
@@Ericg0027 drop the best QB in Vikings history?
Exactly. Kirk is always on point ☝️ with his arm. Just look at JJ numbers, having Kirk throwing to him his entire career
Imagine if they ever gave cousins and offensive line. The dude is mr reliable while getting destroyed season after season; just dropping dimes the whole time. Its crazy.
Once a legend, always a legend, once a Viking always a Viking in our hearts
Great Tribute. End of a era #19 😢
He's still good but you can forget how great he was early on. The best in the NFL for a short time.
One of my favorite players to wear purple and gold
gonna miss him... will forever be remembered
Adam will forever be my favorite player ever.
the Anouncer saying mr. Minnesota at the end their hits me right in the feels.
on the bright side if he ends up with anyone but the packers or jets (if rogers goes there) then i will have a new team to root for all year
Those games at TCF in '14 and '15 were loads of fun to attend. College atmosphere with NFL talent.
Thielen probably loved playing there cause he had played in the cold of MN so many times before
Sure loved him playing for us. Much respect my dude!
I don't often think much about the turnover in the NFL these days, but Adam grew on me, as he did for many. And a great, home grown story as well. Best of luck, Adam. And thank you.
Adam will always be one of my favorite Vikings. Such an amazing story and an even better guy. Wish him nothing but the best for the remainder of his career
Adding THIS to my favorites/likes playlist! My fav TD’s of his (Vikings) career is that Lambeau Leap and “Are You Not Entertained?!” ones. Skol AT19! He will be missed…
Thank you for the memories #19, you definitely will be missed 😢
One of the best Vikings to ever play the game and a personal favorite of mine as well. Thank you AT 19.
Golden hands. Goddammit, man. I'll miss watching this dude on the Vikings. If he doesn't retire he'll for sure go to a team contender
Not a Vikings fan but I remember a point in time when he was once better than diggs. Hoping nothing but the best for him.
we will miss him. I think of all the times he made cousins look good
SKOL💜💛 gonna miss him😢
Look forward to seeing what he does with his next team . Thielen in Kansas city would be pretty dope if they don't re sign juju
I was at that game in chicago this year, I guess I never knew then that I saw his last TD as a Viking! Forever one of my top 3 Vikings. Skol Adam!
I miss him already 🥺💔
Don’t worry we definitely mark him as a all time Vikings favorite. He’s had a long career with us and we’ve appreciated all of it he’s just getting closer to retirement we aren’t trying to leave him on a bad note but the team has to make there own moves especially with our salary cap issue.
Love you Adam and thanks for everything
I’m so sad that we let him go cause he is an amazing player but he does deserve better cause he didn’t get much love with the ball this season but wherever he ends up he will have a season he will be missed in Minnesota
Look up his stats vs other wr2 stats last season. He got plenty of love.
you gotta love Adam Thielen
This Dude was one of my favorite to watch. The Dude just made play after play week after week. I was hoping Lamar would join him, Dalvin, and Jeffries
I’m gonna miss this guy big time
gonna miss him 💛💜
is this what heartbreak feels like
Thank you Adam!!!
Damn,I’m gonna miss him!! 🫤
For 2 maybe 3 years he maybe the Best Receiver in Football
Only 1 person agrees with me. Geez. Must have never seen some of the impossible catches.
I am going to miss Thielen.
Gonna miss you
I’m a Vikings fan and I was just heartbroken when I saw we were getting rid of Thielen
Great highlight reel!
under-rated
I love it 😂 when he catches the ball in stride and turns on the burners... 😆 look at that dude run.. looks like the cops are chasing him.. 😂
the tcf bank games with teddy at qb 😍😍😍😍
17:08 I remember seeing that live and I remember freaking tf out, that was such an insane catch
Damn this sucks, but I understand the business side of the NFL, he can still retire someday as a Viking but I wish him the best of luck with whatever team he lands with.
#19 forever!
I hate that he’s gone. He clutch af. I hope big things happen fer him. Hope he retires a Viking. Plays here before he retires. I know that sounds too much but he’s from MN and we need him back lol SKOL
I actually go to school where he went. Detroit Lakes, MN.
It is going to a sad first game without Adam😭. #skol
All this kid ever did was make catches. He has hands like fly paper. I hope he gets a chance to play on a contending team for a few more years as I believe he has a few good years left in him.
Adam Thelin is the man probably my favorite Viking receiver of all time but I can't forget the rest of them either because they have had quite a few like, Cris Carter Randy Moss Sammy Witte Amad Rashad ect....... man I hate to see him go
All he did was catch TDs (and everything else). An all-time story, an all-time Viking.
Awesome video, great job.
Greatness
Thanks Adam : when your done I hope you do the one day contract and retire a Viking !
4ever Minnesota
4ever a Viking
4ever SKOL
AT19💜💛
when your undrafted WR is better than 95% of all other WR in NFL history and more
such a tough day yesterda
It’s crazy he blocked and returned a punt for a TD on the same play
The theatrics in the endzone becomes old fast!
It had to happen sometime. It is never easy to cut someone. However, if he hasn’t totally lost his ability, they guy catches his share of touchdowns. He knows how to get open in the red zone. Who couldn’t use this?
I wonder how many pro bowl wideouts have their first NFL TD off their own blocked kick.
This made me depressed
They should have figured a pay to pay him and sign him. IMO he belongs in the HOF.
Adam Thielen you ARE a Kansas City Chief. Just like Jet McKinnon!!
Rip thelen
Tht sucks bro I was hoping u would retire a Viking u will be missed GoD Bless...
I just realized I was the 500th like on the video!
No disrespect to Vince Papale. But if they made a movie about him…they gotta make one about Thielen
Chris Carter esk All he does is score touchdowns!! You will be missed
Hopefully Chris Ballard makes a splash for once and actually makes a good sign
Forget how quick he was back then. Sad....definitely lost some steps due to age
He looked like a different player after signing his big contract
What a braindead comment
It's too bad they didn't look to him more instead of making believe that HE wasn't as productive. Duh! Got rid of a great player, and I hope he does a lot better on the Carolina team!
9:24 thielen pants go from fully purple to white. how his pants change color mid play?
Plan the jersey retirement ceremony Minnesota!
they cut, Thielen, they cut Kendrics, but they not cut Cousins
He'll be taking a substantial pay cut to play somewhere else. Why not take a pay cut and stay? I'll never understand why these players towards the end of their careers won't be sensible about their market value and face reality.
#1 Huh
Cousins...... touchdown thielen
To sad to watch this 😢 😞 😔 😕
Shame, it woulda been an even better story if he played in Minn his entire football career. Great Minn story regardless
I can see him going to Browns to be with Stephanski
THE greatest Viking ever
Ah I miss Bradford/
What is the reason for cutting him
Too much of a cap hit
he was released not cut 😁
Potato potahto
Future packer maybe😈
Man this is like watching videos of your gf after she goes off to college and leaves you
