The Minnesota Vikings let GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah go in late-January after a disappointing 2025 season from the team and J.J. McCarthy.
The release happened while Adofo-Mensah was in Mobile, Alabama for the Super Bowl. The interim GM was Rob Brzezinski, who had been with the team since 1999. Brzezinski led the team through free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Vikings laid out their plan to find a new GM after the draft. They had been holding interviews over the last week or so. Now, they’ve made an official decision on the lead-man.

Tom Pelissero broke the news on X.
“The Vikings agreed to terms with Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley as their general manager, sources tell NFL Network. Fresh off a Super Bowl win, Teasley — regarded as one of the NFL’s top young executives — now will try to bring a Lombardi Trophy to Minnesota.”
The Vikings will now look toward the future with a young executive that’s been a part of some big accomplishments in Seattle.
