- Vikings hired Nolan Teasley as general manager after firing Kwesi Adofo‑Mensah on Jan. 30.
- Nolan Teasley spent 13 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, rising from intern to assistant GM in 2023.
- Rob Brzezinski served as interim GM during the offseason and will resume his role as executive vice president of football operations.
- Mark Wilf said the team has a great scouting and coaching staff and wants a GM who fits within that, indicating no full front‑office overhaul.
- Vikings' hiring process leaned on input from head coach Kevin O'Connell, COO Andrew Miller, and the Wilf family, whose adult sons joined interview panels.
Why it matters: The Vikings gain a GM with deep pro‑scouting experience to shape draft and roster moves, while Kwesi Adofo‑Mensah exits, and the team’s existing scouting and coaching staff stay intact, promising continuity with a fresh personnel perspective.
