Overview
- Mark Wilf said ownership will run the process without a search firm, with interviews set for after the April 23–25 draft.
- Interim GM Rob Brzezinski will lead the team through the draft, with multiple reports noting internal backing for him to keep the job.
- The late firing of Kwesi Adofo-Mensah left a tight window and pushed more responsibility to Brzezinski and consultant Matt Thomas during free agency and draft prep.
- Reports link outside candidates such as Ed Dodds and Ray Agnew, though a post-draft hire could strain ties if a newcomer overrides choices made by Kevin O’Connell and Brian Flores.
- Minnesota slipped from 14–3 in 2024 to 9–8 in 2025 and signed quarterback Kyler Murray on a one-year, $1.3 million deal, which raises the stakes for the next GM’s plan.
