The post Vikings lock up GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to multi-year contract extension<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Vikings<\/a> were one of the best stories in the NFL during the 2024 season. Minnesota won 14 games with Sam Darnold after JJ McCarthy suffered a season-ending injury<\/a> in the summer. Now Minnesota is taking measures to ensure that they keep their front office together for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

The Vikings and GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah have agreed to a multi-year contract extension<\/a>, per ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter. Exact details on the extension are currently unknown.<\/p>\n

Schefter reported that both sides have been working on this extension for weeks.<\/p>\n

This comes on the heels of Minnesota extending head coach Kevin O\u2019Connell<\/a> on his how multi-year deal back in January.<\/p>\n

The Vikings have experienced great success under the O\u2019Connell and Adofo-Mensah regime. Minnesota has a 34-17 regular season record since hiring the pair back in 2022. However, the team is 0-2 in the playoffs during that same period of time.<\/p>\n

Minnesota will look to turn things around in 2025 with second-year QB JJ McCarthy leading the offense.<\/p>\n

Kwesi made one of his most important picks during the 2024 NFL Draft when he traded up for JJ McCarthy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, one year later, the Vikings are set to finally see what they have in the young quarterback.<\/p>\n

McCarthy is already receiving a lot of praise<\/a> from Minnesota\u2019s coaching staff during the team\u2019s organized team activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s done an unbelievable job,\u201d Kevin O\u2019Connell said, per The Athletic\u2019s Alec Lewis. \u201cYou forget the fact (that) this is his first runway since the injury. It\u2019s a credit to the work he put in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vikings are doing whatever they can to ensure that McCarthy feels like he\u2019s growing into an NFL quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re constantly making it feel like he\u2019s growing, but it\u2019s never about him being comfortable or satisfied on any particular outcome because we\u2019re building toward something much greater than a play here or there,\u201d O\u2019Connell added.<\/p>\n

The former Michigan quarterback has already had plenty of time to soak up the team\u2019s playbook. Now he has to prove he can make plays on the gridiron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The post Vikings lock up GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to multi-year contract extension appeared first on ClutchPoints.
