The Minnesota Vikings are adding some championship experience to their front office.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley has agreed to terms with the Vikings to be their general manager.
Teasley was among the candidates to receive a second-round interview for Minnesota’s general manager position.
He has been with the Seahawks since 2013, joining the team as an intern in their scouting department. Teasley was then promoted several times in the scouting department before being named the assistant GM in 2024.
Seattle is coming off a Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots.
The Vikings fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah after four seasons, despite receiving a contract extension.
Executive vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski was appointed as the interim replacement through the NFL draft.
The Vikings finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs for a second time in Adofo-Mensah’s four years, which have paralleled the tenure of coach Kevin O’Connell. They have not won a post-season game in six years.
