Summary

Vikings Hire Teasley

The Minnesota Vikings named Nolan Teasley general manager on June 3, 2026.
Teasley arrived after a 13-year Seattle Seahawks tenure under GM John Schneider, during which the team won Super Bowl LX.
Co-owner Mark Wilf said the hire adds championship culture, and head coach Kevin O’Connell pledged full support.
Teasley will report to ownership, have final authority over the 53-man roster, and blend analytics with the coaching staff’s vision.

Summary

Vikings Reinstate Authority

The Vikings reinstated a “triangle of authority” model that links the general manager, head coach and senior football executive.
Rob Brzezinski returned as executive vice president of football operations and remains the salary-cap guru.
Brzezinski will report directly to Nolan Teasley while head coach Kevin O’Connell also reports directly to ownership.
Mark Wilf said Teasley’s final roster authority will be balanced by heavy reliance on O’Connell and Brzezinski’s expertise.

Summary

Vikings Sign Murray

The Vikings signed veteran Kyler Murray to a veteran-minimum deal to compete with J.J. McCarthy.
Teasley said the quarterback and head coach are important and pledged to evaluate the roster, focusing on the quarterback room.
McCarthy started six of ten games, posted a 6-4 record, and drew criticism for processing errors and inaccurate passes.
Determining the starting quarterback was identified as the team’s first major task under the new management hierarchy.
