Vikings Name Nolan Teasley Their New General Manager

The move signals Minnesota's shift to a scouting‑driven leadership model with Teasley charged to settle the quarterback competition and oversee early roster construction.

Overview

  • The Vikings officially named Nolan Teasley their general manager on Monday, June 1, completing a post‑draft search led by ownership.
  • Teasley spent 13 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, rising from a 2013 scouting intern to director of pro personnel and then assistant general manager.
  • Rob Brzezinski will remain in a senior football‑operations role and Teasley will work closely with head coach Kevin O'Connell while reporting directly to the Wilf ownership.
  • Because Teasley qualifies under the NFL's diversity hiring incentive, the Seahawks will receive two third‑round compensatory picks in upcoming drafts.
  • Teasley's near‑term tasks include deciding the Kyler Murray–J. J. McCarthy quarterback competition, early roster moves and integrating scouting, analytics and cap planning after the franchise fired Kwesi Adofo‑Mensah in January.
