EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings waived receiver Adam Thielen on Monday, one day after he was a healthy scratch in the team's 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks .

The decision ends Thielen's second and final stint with the Vikings, his hometown team for whom he ranks No. 3 in touchdown catches (55), fourth in receptions (542) and fifth in receiving yards (6,751). He said in a statement posted on social media that he long ago decided that 2025 would be his final season, and that he hoped to find a new home to "go compete elsewhere for the last few weeks of my career."
