Overview
- Minnesota, which sent its first request Wednesday to Bills assistant GM Terrance Gray, has by Friday also sought interviews with 49ers’ RJ Gillen, Rams’ John McKay, Chargers’ Chad Alexander, Seahawks’ Nolan Teasley and Titans’ Dave Ziegler.
- Teasley is interviewing for the role Friday, a hire that would award Seattle two third-round compensatory picks under league rules.
- Executive vice president Rob Brzezinski remains a candidate as ownership considers promoting him to GM or installing him in an over-arching football operations post with a new GM beneath him.
- The reported field features scouting-track executives, indicating a shift from the analytics-rooted profile of ousted GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
- The Wilf family engaged search firm TurnkeyZRG and waited until after the 2026 draft to launch interviews, so the choice is framed around long-term alignment with Kevin O’Connell rather than near-term roster changes.
