Vikings' Adam Thielen: Lands long-term commitment from Vikes

The Vikings and Thielen agreed to terms of a three-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Born and bred in Minnesota, Thielen developed a nice rapport with Sam Bradford in 2016, tallying three 100-yard outings en route to 69 catches (on 92 targets) for 967 yards and five touchdowns. Now back in the fold, he joins Stefon Diggs and Kyle Rudolph to form a steady base for the Vikings' passing attack. What's missing is a deep threat, but Thielen gave the offense a fair alternative with his team-leading 16 catches of 20-plus yards last season.
