Vikings, GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah agree to terms on multiyear contract extension

The Minnesota Vikings have secured their general manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, with a multiyear extension, aligning him with head coach Kevin O'Connell. Since joining the team in 2022, the duo has led the Vikings to a 34-17 record and two playoff appearances. Adofo-Mensah, with a background in the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns, has actively shaped the roster through trades, drafts, and free agency, though not without some challenges and misses in previous drafts. As part of this strategic shift, the Vikings promoted Ryan Grigson and Demitrius Washington to assistant general manager roles. The team is also transitioning after losing quarterback Sam Darnold to the Seahawks, placing their hopes on J.J. McCarthy post-surgery. Overall, under Adofo-Mensah and O'Connell's leadership, the Vikings aim for sustained success and a championship pursuit.
