Vikings sign GM Adofo-Mensah to extension, keeping his contract in sync with O'Connell's

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings signed general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to a multi-year contract extension on Friday, keeping his status in sync with head coach Kevin O’Connell’s for the long term.

O’Connell’s extension was done in January, following a 14-win season. Both Adofo-Mensah and O’Connell were hired in 2022 on four-year deals. The length of their new contracts was not released by the Vikings, who are 34-17 in the regular season since they arrived. They’re 0-2 in the playoffs.
