The Minnesota Vikings know how reliable Adam Thielen is and can be for a team, especially a quarterback. The Vikings legend was a free agent in 2025 and some folks thought perhaps he would return to the team as a possible way for them to further solidify the offense around J.J. McCarthy.
Sadly for the Vikings, Adam Thielen will not be returning to the Vikings as he re-signed with the Carolina Panthers last week.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler announced that Theilen agreed to the revised contract to allow his return to the Panthers. In 2024, he had a slow start to the season, but following Bryce Young’s return to the starting lineup, Thielen became his favorite target. He averaged 72 yards per game and scored five touchdowns in the final seven weeks of the season for the Panthers.
He played in just 10 games in total but was well on his way to his fourth career thousand-yard season.
It’s not wise to give Draymond Green and the Warriors bulletin board material in the playoffs.
Rockets guard Jalen Green might have done just that after his heated interaction with Warriors veteran forward Draymond Green at the end of Golden State’s win over Houston in Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round playoff series on Saturday night and his comments afterward.
“Just talking,” Jalen said of his fiery interaction with Draymond. “Steph [Curry] had a good game. The reason they won. Just talking. [Draymond] can’t really do much of anything else, so talking is his only way.”
The elder Green responded to the Rockets star’s postgame comments on the latest episode of his podcast, “The Draymond Green Show With Baron Davis,” where he sarcastically brushed off the 23-year-old’s dig at him.
“That’s cool, I don’t do much. That’s fine. I don’t do much,” Draymond said. “I just do what I have to do, but I don’t do much. No problem, I’m happy he sees it that way. That’s incredible. Shout out to him.”
Green’s co-host and former Warriors guard, Davis, chimed in and issued a stark warning to the young Rockets guard.
“A lot of times those are like blanket statements, because you can start believing that and then … that’s how you get your ass kicked,” Davis said. “There’s a fine line between respect and disrespect. You’ve got to be careful because it could translate on the court as ‘Oh, I don’t feel like closing out’ or ‘I ain’t going to try and box out’ or ‘Oh, I’m just going to let him drive to the hole.’
“So be careful, that’s what I would say to the young fella. Especially in the playoffs, since it’s a different level. It’s a different level of talk and it’s a different level of talking and backing it up when it comes to the playoffs, and we’ve seen that countless amount of times with really young players going to the media and almost giving that energy out to themselves.”
