Adam Thielen net worth: How much is Minnesota Vikings WR worth in 2023?

Former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is worth an estimated $20 million.

The former Vikings receiving option spent the entirety of his NFL career with the Vikings after they had taken him as an undrafted free agent in 2013. Thielen attended at a rookie tryout and evaluation session at Winter Park with the Minnesota Vikings. He performed well enough to be offered a three-year, $1.48 million contract as an undrafted free agent. Adam Thielen signed on the dotted line, and, like they say, the rest is history.

Thielen has earned his sizeable net worth through his NFL contracts, endorsement deals and smart investment moves. Before Justin Jefferson came to town, he was the Vikings' number one receiving option, but he has since taken up a second option role. At the moment, he's looking for a new team after being recently cut by the Vikings.

How much has Adam Thielen made in his NFL career?

Adam Thielen has made quite a fortune playing in the National Football League, increasing his salary with every new contract he signed. His first contract saw him earn $1,485,000 in three years. This contract was a rookie scale deal, and Thielen was signed. However, the speedy wideout did enough in his first three years as a Viking to merit an extension.

He signed a new contract in 2016 worth a modest $600,000 for the season. This contract was a prove-it deal to be sure that Thielen was ready to be the No. 1 wide receiver on an NFL franchise.

Of course, he eventually had to compete against Stefon Diggs. Adam Thielen was decent in that 2016 season, and the Minnesota Vikings front office finally gave him the stellar contract Thielen had been waiting for. He signed a four year, $19,246,000 contract in 2017. His contract included a signing bonus of $4,000,000 and $9,646,000 in total guarantees. Finally, the once undrafted free agent got paid.

A year before the expiration of his contract, Thielen was renewed by the Vikings as a reward for holding down the No. 2 wide receiver spot.

He was re-upped on a four-year deal worth $64,200,000. His new contract included a $9,000,000 signing bonus, earning $16,050,000 per season and a total guarantee of $33,000,000. Now that's something.

Throughout his nine-year NFL career, Thielen has earned $65,131,941, all as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. While Thielen was never the first option wideout for the Vikings, he was a dependable No. 2 option.
