Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah May Soon Get a Contract Boost
Minneapolis, USAWed Jan 22 2025
The Minnesota Vikings have already locked down their coach, Kevin O’Connell, with a new contract. Now, it’s time for the team’s General Manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, to possibly see an extension to his deal. According to recent reports, talks are happening to ensure Adofo-Mensah stays with the team. The Vikings moved swiftly with O’Connell because time was running out. If they hadn’t agreed on a new contract, O’Connell could have become a free agent or been traded before the 2025 season. Some might think that the quick agreement means there were no issues between O’Connell and the team, but that isn’t the case. O’Connell was upset after last season because the team owners didn’t extend his contract. He was considering other offers, and the Vikings needed to act fast to keep him. Now that the contract is signed, the Vikings and O’Connell can focus on the future. Adofo-Mensah’s potential new deal will likely be next on the agenda, solidifying the team’s leadership for years to come.
