The Vikings have fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, according to multiple reports on Friday.
Adofo-Mensah had been with the Vikings since 2022, when he was hired to replace Rick Spielman. He received a contract extension from Minnesota last offseason, but now the franchise is headed in a different direction after four years.
The timing of this move is fairly stunning. Adofo-Mensah was just at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL evaluating draft prospects this week. The Vikings’ season came to an end nearly a full month ago. But now, on January 30, they’ll begin the search for a new GM.
The Vikings have gone 43-25 in the regular season over the last four years under Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell, who were brought on board together in 2022. They reached the postseason twice and were knocked out in the first round both times.
