The Minnesota Vikings made a move that hit the Skol crowd hard. They let Adam Thielen go again after he asked out. Soon after, his wife, Caitlin Thielen, stepped in and explained why things unfolded this way.

“And just our family, it’s a big decision. And, you know, it’s not even about wins or losses. It’s about Adam wanting to compete, wanting to play and just, you know, this is his last season. He actually hasn’t shared that until today. But yes, he will retire after this season.”

Caitlin posted a long video on Instagram and cleared the air. She said the choice was deeper than football. Her words hit fast because no one expected that. After that, she added that his release request came from the same place.

“It’s not even about wins or losses, it’s about Adam wanting to compete, wanting to play. This is his last season… I know him as a competitor, he wants to compete, wants to play, wants to prove, he’s always been about proving people, proving to himself.”

This is a developing story…
