There are two ways the Vikings could approach this if they do want to bring in another receiver.
First would be to bring in a short term rental like Powell or another team's released WR, that would cost no draft capital.
The second way would be to affect a trade.
The only logical reason to spend draft capitol and cap space money in my mind, would be to find someone to potentially replace Nailor long term. Nailor is not going to be here next year more than likely.
Otherwise, spending draft capitol and money on a short term rental doesn't seem to make sense.
Therefore, I don't see Thielen returning to the Vikings because he would be a short term solution.

one thing that popped into my thought on this matter this morning is what if we can trade for a good WR2/3, that is also an electric returner? Our special teams seem to be a bit of an achilles, what if we can fill the short term void at WR2/3, and also bolster that weakness? And with injuries already to JJ and now Nailor, who knows? I just know that I havent really seen anything from either of our return groups outside of the 1 nice return by Scott last week.

I gave my take on Thielen now in another thread, but the house will come down at U.S. Bank in Week 2 if he makes it to Minnesota. JJM and Adam are pretty good friends. I hope the comp isn't huge for a 35 year old WRer.

I’m still struggling with figuring out why Carolina would move Adam right now. At the trade deadline if they’re out of contention = sure. But why now? Suppose would have to be an overpay by #Vikings. Adam had Bryce Young up here in July. Seems they figured things out last year.
