Vikings Request Second Interviews With Five GM Candidates
NFL Rumors - ProFootballRumors.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Vikings have requested in-person, second-round interviews with interim GM Rob Brzezinski and four assistant GMs from other teams as part of their search for a full-time general manager.
- The candidates for interviews include Reed Burckhardt (Broncos), Terrance Gray (Bills), John McKay (Rams), and Nolan Teasley (Seahawks), with Brzezinski being a strong internal candidate due to his long tenure and current role as executive VP of football operations.
- The Vikings have been without a full-time GM since firing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in late January following a 9-8 season, and Brzezinski has managed the team through the offseason.
- Other assistant GMs initially considered, such as Ray Agnew, Kyle Smith, Dave Ziegler, and R.J. Gillen, have been eliminated from the running, while Chad Alexander withdrew voluntarily.
- Notably, both Burckhardt and Gray have prior experience with the Vikings organization, potentially giving them an edge in the selection process.
