Teasley Finalizes Vikings Front Office With Seahawks and Analytics Hires

Overview

• The Vikings on Thursday confirmed Nolan Teasley’s core front‑office staff by naming Trent Kirchner and Andrew Healy as assistant general managers.
• Kirchner will run scouting and assist Teasley with personnel work while Healy will lead analytics and research, aligning traditional scouting with quantitative methods.
• Minnesota also announced additions and promotions across football strategy and scouting, including Tyler Hamblin as director of football strategy, Ryan Pace as a football adviser, and Azzaam Kapadia as assistant director of pro scouting.
• Longtime executive Ryan Grigson declined a revised role with the Vikings and has rejoined the Cleveland Browns as a senior football adviser, marking the exit of key figures from the previous regime.
• Teasley’s hires reflect his Seattle roots and give him consolidated control over roster decisions, a change that sets the stage for near‑term moves around the quarterback competition and other roster choices before training camp.
