+++ March 09, 2023, 7:52 p.m .: Minnesota Vikings before separation from Adam Thielen +++
As “ESPN”s Adam Schefter reports, the Minnesota Vikings may no longer plan with Adam Thielen.
Both sides are expected to negotiate in the coming days, but word has it that the franchise could let the wider receiver go. The two-time Pro Bowler would then become a free agent and would certainly become an automatic target in the offseason.
Thielen has played in Minnesota since his rookie year in 2013 and has twice surpassed 1,000 yards.
+++ March 09, 2023, 6:55 p.m .: Lavonte David will probably become a free agent +++
A big name in the NFL is likely to become a free agency contender this offseason. Lavonte David, longtime linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will soon be available to negotiate for all teams, according to Ian Rapoport.
As Rapoport reports, it is not entirely out of the question that David will return to the Bucs – but their cap space could become a problem.
David was a second-round pick in 2012, made the Pro Bowl in 2015, and won Super Bowl LV with the Buccaneers. During his career, he had 29 sacks and three defensive touchdowns.
