Minnesota Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has received a “multi-year contract extension” after three years as the Vikings’ GM.
This comes after Minnesota extended head coach Kevin O’Connell in January.
“Kwesi’s leadership, vision and collaboration with our coaching staff has positioned the Minnesota Vikings for sustained success,” Vikings owner/president Mark Wilf said in a statement.
Since becoming the general manager, the Vikings have made the playoffs in two out of three seasons. In 2024, the Vikings went 14-3, their second-most wins in franchise history.

In 2023, Adofo-Mensah drafted Jordan Addison, who has become a young star second option behind Justin Jefferson. In 2024, he drafted J.J. McCarthy, who will be the starting quarterback in 2025.
The Vikings have been busy in free agency, signing players such as Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave. They also resigned Aaron Jones and Byron Murphy.
Adofo-Mensah started his career with the San Francisco 49ers before becoming the vice president of football operations for the Cleveland Browns.
Adofo-Mensah and O’Connell have been a pair for three years. The Vikings hope the two can continue to bring success to the franchise.
