4 teams that could trade for Vikings WR Adam Thielen in 2022

Buffalo Bills
Wouldn’t this be something?
The Buffalo Bills appear right on the cusp of something special. They have an abundance of talent on both sides of the football and a quarterback in Josh Allen that is undoubtedly one of the best in the business right now.
According to a recent report, the Bills have told Cole Beasley he is free to seek a trade. This leaves them with Gabriel Davis and Stefon Diggs as their primary wide receivers, which might not be enough in the ultra-competitive AFC West.
Reuniting Diggs and Adam Thielen, who formed a prolific partnership on the Minnesota Vikings, might be enough to get Buffalo over the hump. Even though it’s hard to justify paying two wideouts such lofty salaries when other needs could take a hit as a result.
Dealing with the Bills is something the Vikings have obviously done before. But whether they’d be willing to give up what Minnesota could ask in return for Thielen is another matter entirely.
The Vikings almost made the Super Bowl with Thielen and Diggs operating in unison. This was in spite of moderate quarterback play from Case Keenum.
Buffalo wouldn’t need to worry about this with Allen manning the plate. So the benefits are there for all to see.
