The Vikings are hiring Browns vice president of football operations Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as their next general manager, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Adofo-Mensah will replace Rick Spielman, who had been Minnesota's GM for the past 16 seasons, but was fired following the conclusion of the 2021 campaign.

Per ESPN, Adofo-Mensah's contract will be a four-year deal.

The Vikings' new general manager holds undergraduate and master's degrees in economics from Princeton and Stanford, respectively, and he had several Wall Street ventures before entering the NFL. Adofo-Mensah spent seven seasons as the 49ers' director of football research and development before spending the 2020-21 seasons with the Browns working under general manager Andrew Berry.
