What happened: NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms with Seattle Seahawks assistant general manager Nolan Teasley to become their new general manager. The agreement fills the vacancy atop Minnesota's front office heading into the 2026 season.
Why it matters: The hire ends a search in which Minnesota cast a wide net, having requested interviews with several candidates earlier this month, Teasley among them. As GM, Teasley will steer Minnesota's roster construction, draft strategy, and free-agency decisions, shaping the franchise's direction around its quarterback and cap situation.
What to watch: Watch for how Teasley aligns with the existing coaching staff and his first personnel moves as Minnesota builds toward the 2026 season. His Seattle background may also signal a shift in roster-building philosophy.
