After having set up another masterclass in free agency during the offseason, it would be assumed that the Vikings of Minnesota would have rewarded the director general Kwesi Adofo-Mensah with a contract extension.
However, this has not yet happened, and he wonders why, especially after the Vikings and the head coach Kevin O’Connell accepted an extension Back in January.
With the draft of the NFL in 2025 within two weeks after the start, we would like to think that Minnesota would like to conclude a new agreement with Adofo-Mensah as soon as possible. But on the basis of certain recent speculation in a notable voice, it does not seem that the Vikings are largely pressed to extend their current director general.
Minnesota Vikings Insider does not think that the team will extend GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah before NFL draft in 2025
During an appearance in the “Paul Allen Show” of KFXN-FM TuesdayBen Goessling of Minnesota Tribune star was asked if he thought that the Vikings would extend Adofofo-Mensah before the next NFL draft at the end of the month. Goessling gave an answer that might not be what most Minnesota fans were trying to hear.
“We are a week of [the NFL Draft]. I would go with no. Because I think the emphasis is on other things right now. The emphasis is on the project itself. “”
The draft of the NFL 2025 being so close, this speculation should probably not surprise. But that does not mean that it is still not disappointing to hear.
The Vikings have won 13 or more games in two of their three seasons since the hiring of O’Connell and Adofof-Mensah in 2022. O’Connell is an excellent head coach (and he now has the equipment to prove it), but we can easily say that the team could not have been so successful in recent years without the work of the general manager and the office.
People may want to discredit Adofo-Mensah by saying that O’Connell coaching has been the main reason for the success of Minnesota since 2022. But if this is the case, then O’Connell also deserves the blame for not being able to make the most of the guys like Ty Chandler, Ed Ingram, Alexander Mattison and Jalen Nailor, among others. The blame and praise should go both ways for the Vikings, not only one.
Will Adofo-Mensah have an extension of a contract before the start of the 2025 NFL season? One might think, but the lack of urgency of Minnesota to extend it so far this year allows the uncertainty of its future with the organization of existing.
