Overview

  • Owners Mark and Zygi Wilf said Wednesday the GM search is underway after the 2026 NFL Draft, formalizing a process they delayed through free agency and the draft.
  • The team hired executive search firm TurnkeyZRG and said it will not announce candidates during the process out of respect for those involved.
  • Interim leader Rob Brzezinski ran free agency and the draft and is widely respected inside the building, with CBS reporting he is a strong candidate for the job.
  • ESPN reporting counters that the Wilfs plan a genuinely open-ended search and do not view Brzezinski as a preferred choice, with O’Connell expected to have input.
  • External names are not public, but the Eagles confirmed assistant GM Alec Halaby’s exit this week, and outlets have floated him as a possible option without any Vikings announcement.
