EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have hired Cleveland Browns vice president of football operations Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as their new general manager, the team announced Wednesday night.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Adofo-Mensah is getting a four-year deal. He replaces Rick Spielman, who was fired at the conclusion of the 2021 season after a 16-year stint as the Vikings' general manager that produced a 132-123-2 record.
Adofo-Mensah is the 10th person in franchise history to hold a general manager title and/or carry out the duties of the team's GM (current executive vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski was the top football executive from 2002 to 2005 without an official GM title).
