The Minnesota Vikings announced on Monday they have completed an interview with Cleveland Browns vice president of football operations Kwesi Adofo-Mensah for the team’s vacancy at general manager.
It’s the first interview this offseason for Adofo-Mensah, who has been a fixture on the “names to know” watchlists for NFL GMs for over a year. He’s been with the Browns for the last two seasons in his current role.
Prior to his time in Cleveland under GM Andrew Berry, Adofo-Mensah was the director of football research for the San Francisco 49ers for several years. He’s considered one of the top young analytical minds in the league.
The Vikings have interviewed several candidates in their quest to find Rick Spielman’s successor at GM. If they do hire Adofo-Mensah, who is Black, the Browns would be in line to receive two third-round compensatory picks.
