EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) The Minnesota Vikings have finalized their contract extension with wide receiver Adam Thielen, the former undrafted practice squad player who led the team with 967 yards receiving last season.

The three-year deal that keeps Thielen under team control through 2020 is worth as much as $27 million with $11 million guaranteed. Thielen signed it on Tuesday after agreeing to terms last week. He was a restricted free agent who received a qualifying offer for the 2017 season for about $2.75 million.

Money well spent I think.Bobby

yup I agree. that was a good call.

[Jerkbiat]

I agree. Good move to keep him. Hope he keeps up the good work.

[Reinhard]

Ya, great deal.  He was our best reciever last year in my opinion.  But Diggs was hurt and he is awesome also.  Vikings are looking at a couple more recievers.  good luck.

It's nice to see a good local kid do well.

I have to admit that I was a little surprised how well he did last season. There seemed to be 2 or 3 games, at least, that he seemed to be the only that could get open & catch the ball, especially late in the 4th quarter.

I heard every time Decker wants to impress someone he says " do you know that I grew up in the same town as Glenn?" I guess it works every time.
