Veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen was waived by the Minnesota Vikings on Monday after the 35-year-old posted just eight catches for 69 scoreless yards across 11 games this season in his return to the organization.

New England Patriots insider Chad Graff of The Athletic speculated whether the AFC East leaders would have interest in the two-time Pro Bowler, citing connections between Thielen and members of Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff.
