Contract detail emerge for two Vikings veterans, including Adam Thielen taking a team-friendly pay cut

This is a very reasonable number that is about $300k higher than what Howell's cap hit would be, and it gives the Vikings a significant upgrade at a position that they hopefully won't have to use. Plus, Wentz can be an asset to J.J. McCarthy as a former top 10 overall pick at the position.

Adam Thielen

The Thielen contract is a little more generous for the Vikings. He was set to have a salary cap hit of $7 million, but that number has shrunk by nearly $2.5 million.

Going into this season, Thielen had no guaranteed money. He gets $1 million in a bonus, and can earn up to $5 million in total. That is still a good deal for who Thielen is, and it gives the Vikings more wiggle room this year, and hopefully roll that money into next season.
