Vikings Lose Thielen and Keep Cousins

Just to set the record straight, Adam Thielen was let go from the Minnesota Vikings for being too old and costing too much. Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins is two years older and made more than $30 million more (than Thielen) in 2022.

Kirk Cousins Born August 19, 1988 · Barrington, Illinois
Salary in 2022 $35 million

Adam Thielen Born: Aug 22, 1990 · Detroit Lakes, Minnesota
Salary in 2022 $4,253,529

I could have fixed the salary cap with one trade and kept all the fan favorites. Sure we would need a quarterback again, but Kirkland products are pretty easy to replace.
