The Minnesota Vikings\u2019 search for their next general manager rolls along\u2026 and has lingered a bit in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n
After firing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah at the end of January, the team in the Twin Cities is still looking for the head man for the big front office role. Adofo-Mensah was released by the team, speculatively, in part (at least optics-wise), due to the decision to let both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones walk in free agency in favor of sophomore QB, J.J. McCarthy.<\/p>\n

That decision would seem to haunt the Vikings after the Seattle Seahawks went from a 10-win team to the Super Bowl champion in one year with Darnold at the controls. McCarthy would go on to put up the 35th-ranked QB Rating (out of 36) in the league last year.<\/p>\n
In his 14th season with the \u2018Hawks (4th as Assistant General Manager), Nolan Teasley is one of five candidates<\/a> that were requested for Minny\u2019s second round of interviews. The Central Washington University alum began as a scouting intern in Seattle and worked his way through multiple levels of responsibility.<\/p>\n If Teasley is hired by Minnesota, being considered a minority candidate, it would return a third-round pick in each of the next two NFL drafts for the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n After a dominant title run, the Seahawks have already seen some poaching of their brain trust by other teams. The Las Vegas Raiders hired OC, Klint Kubiak as their next head coach<\/a>, along with QB coach-turned OC, Andrew Janocko. Former Seattle run game coordinator, Rick Dennison is now the offensive line coach in Sin City as well.<\/p>\n
