ESPN NFL reports that -- The Minnesota Vikings have hired Nolan Teasley as their general manager, concluding an unusual chapter for the franchise, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Teasley has spent the past 13 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, where he began as an intern and advanced to assistant general manager in 2023.
He replaces Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, whom the Vikings fired January 30, and interim general manager Rob Brzezinski, who was also a candidate for the permanent job.
Because they fired Adofo-Mensah so late in the process, the Wilfs decided to tap Brzezinski -- their longtime salary cap analyst and contract negotiator -- to lead a temporary front office during the most important team-building time of the year.
Brzezinski's long-term future with the team was not immediately known.
Teasley was the only candidate among the five finalists without a clear connection to the team or a key member of the organization.
