In return, the Vikings get Thielen as well as a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round selection.<\/p>\n<p>According to ESPN, Minnesota <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/46086926\/adam-thielen-returns-vikings-panthers-trade-sources-say\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>is also going to pay the remainder of Thielen&#8217;s $7 million salary<\/strong><\/a> for 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Callahan also reports that New England did ask Bourne to take a pay cut, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/_AndrewCallahan\/status\/1960743389290270859\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>but the veteran reportedly declined<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Bourne was in the second

March of 2024<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that had been worth up to $33 million.<\/p>\n<p>As for what the future holds for Bourne, ESPN&#8217;s Field Yates believes that given all their injuries, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FieldYates\/status\/1960738382104928350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the 49ers could potentially be a landing spot for wideout<\/strong><\/a>, who missed the
