Vikings to hire Seahawks executive Nolan Teasley as next GM, per report
The Minnesota Vikings will hire Seattle Seahawks assistant general manager Nolan Teasley as their new full-time general manager, replacing Kwesi Adofo Mensah, who was fired in January. Teasley, who has worked with the Seahawks since 2013 and won two Super Bowls, will inherit a team facing quarterback competition and roster changes after a 9-8 season.
The Minnesota Vikings are set to hire Nolan Teasley, the Seattle Seahawks' assistant general manager, as their next full-time general manager. Teasley replaces Kwesi Adofo Mensah, who was fired on January 30 after four seasons with the Vikings. Rob Brzezinski, the Vikings' longtime cap analyst, had been serving as interim general manager since Mensah’s departure. Teasley joined the Seahawks in 2013 as an intern in the scouting department before rising through the ranks, including roles as pro personnel scout, assistant director of pro personnel, and director of pro personnel. In 2023, he was promoted to assistant general manager, working closely with Seahawks GM John Schneider. Teasley has been part of two Super Bowl-winning teams with Seattle, including Super Bowl 60. The Vikings have not yet confirmed Teasley’s official hiring or the future role of Brzezinski and other front-office staff. Teasley was recently selected for the NFL’s 2026 accelerator program, making him the first participant to secure a full-time general manager position. Teasley will take over a Vikings team finishing a 9-8 season and addressing quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and rookie J.J. McCarthy. The team also shed high-cost veterans like Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave during the offseason.
