Vikings Set Owner-Led GM Search, Plan Interviews After Draft

Interim leader Rob Brzezinski manages the roster under an owner-run process using a contracted screening service.

Overview

  • The Vikings have not started formal interviews for a new general manager and will wait until after the NFL Draft, team president Mark Wilf told reporters.
  • The Wilf family will make the hire and will draw on a small advisory group with input from head coach Kevin O’Connell and chief operating officer Andrew Miller.
  • Wilf said the team will skip a traditional search firm and instead use a contracted service to narrow the candidate pool.
  • Rob Brzezinski remains interim GM through the draft and earned praise from Wilf for building consensus and setting strategy.
  • The job is drawing league interest, with The Athletic noting its appeal and reports linking Colts executive Ed Dodds as a rumored candidate.
