Minnesota Vikings Fire GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, Reports Say
- On Friday, Jan. 30, 2026, the Minnesota Vikings confirmed they fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, following reports from Adam Schefter and Tom Pelissero.
- Following regression from 14-3, the Vikings' rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy struggled in the 2025 season, and the team missed the postseason despite heavy free-agent spending.
- With a league-high $350 million cash commitment to its 2025 roster, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's drafts from 2022-25 produced only 172 starts, with one consistent contributor from the 2022 draft.
- The franchise announced an immediate GM search after the draft, with Rob Brzezinski to run the front office through the 2026 NFL Draft, as owners Mark and Zygi Wilf said, 'Rob brings tremendous credibility and experience.'
- Having arrived in 2022, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, general manager, leaves after four seasons with Kevin O'Connell, Vikings head coach, going 43-25 but 0-2 in playoffs, seven months after a multi-year contract extension.
