Vikings have had some initial discussions with Adam Thielen about a restructuring; a revised deal could create more than $8 million in cap space. https://wp.me/pbBqYq-bR1m

Making room for FAs?

Well, we're barely 1/3 day in yet. Still plenty of targets.

This is true, though it’s fairly preliminary, from what I understand. Thielen has an $11.1M base for 2021; Vikings could convert most of it to a signing bonus and save the cap space by doing so. twitter.com/profootballtal…

Likely a conversion, which makes sense for players who have a future in MN. Don't want to lose Adam. Give him a big ass check.

This must be some kind of increase or decrease in his salary because if they are just moving money around for salary cap purposes they do NOT need his permission ...

Who do you want that's "shit"?  Wouldn't that be a good thing? B)

Teams also have automatic salary conversion rights if they are NOT adding void years.
