Thielen is under club control through the 2020 campaign.
Thielen, 26, enjoyed a breakout season in 2016, reeling in 69 receptions for a team-leading 967 yards and five touchdowns. The 26-year-old Minnesota native made just $600,000 last season after collecting 20 catches in his previous two years with the club.
Thielen played college football at Division II Minnesota State.
