However, the Vikings took a step backward last season, missing the postseason while going 8-7-1. A 16-6 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday not only dropped them to 2-2 on the season, but it led to receiver Adam Thielen to seemingly throw shade at quarterback Kirk Cousins.

The receiver then sent out a cryptic tweet Monday:
Moving Diggs would not improve an already struggling aerial attack. The Vikings rank 31st in the league in passing through four games—and that's with Diggs and Thielen.
Diggs has been one of the NFL's most productive receivers since the Vikings drafted him in the fifth round in 2015. He piled up 3,493 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns through his first four seasons, setting career highs in catches (102), yards (1,021) and touchdowns (nine) last season.
He has followed that up by hauling in 13 receptions for 209 yards and one score this season. He had a season-high 108 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Bears.
As ESPN's Field Yates noted, there are plenty of reasons for opposing teams to be interested in the 25-year-old wideout:
