The Vikings' search group has met with all eight known candidates for general manager after interviewing Patriots consultant Eliot Wolf and Browns vice president of player personnel Glenn Cook on Thursday.
They previously interviewed the Chiefs' Ryan Poles, the Eagles' Brandon Brown and Catherine Raiche, the Browns' Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, the Buccaneers' John Spytek and the Titans' Monti Ossenfort.
Follow-up discussions figure to be in person after a virtual first round, and they can begin around the playoff schedule. The Vikings are considering at least three candidates from playoff teams in Poles, Spytek and Ossenfort.
The Giants hosted three candidates, all from playoff teams, including Poles, for in-person second interviews this week at their New Jersey headquarters.
