MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The Minnesota Vikings have hired Seattle Seahawks assistant general manager Nolan Teasley as their new general manager, according to ESPN and other reports.

Teasley replaces Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, who was fired Jan. 30 after four seasons leading the Vikings' front office.

The Vikings had Rob Brzezinski serve as interim general manager through the NFL draft before beginning their search for a full-time replacement.

Teasley spent his entire NFL career in Seattle, where he rose from a scouting intern in 2013 to assistant general manager under Seahawks general manager John Schneider.

He was promoted to assistant general manager in 2023 after previously working as Seattle's director of pro personnel and in scouting roles.

The hire gives the Vikings a new front-office leader as the franchise tries to move forward after a disappointing 2025 season.

Minnesota went 9-8 last season and missed the playoffs, one year after finishing 14-3.

Teasley will now work alongside head coach Kevin O'Connell as the Vikings shape their roster for the 2026 season and beyond.
