Vikings announce their revamped front office under new GM Nolan Teasley, including one new hire that I don't think had been reported: Tyler Hamblin as director of football strategy. The full personnel office (staffers in alphabetical order):

Richard Sherman on #Vikings GM Nolan Teasley:

“I love it. He’s a guy who works incredibly hard, a guy who cares about the players, he cares about his job, he cares about the organizations... A lot of people get the elevator, and then you get to the top, and you don’t know how to operate. But when you take the stairs, you know how to build and operate… I think he’s going to do a fantastic job for the Minnesota Vikings.”

The few games of healthy Sam Bradford were some of the best QB play I’ve seen on the Vikings.

“I get where the GM was coming from”- Sam Darnold on the Vikings’ decision to not offer him a multi-year deal.

12/15/2002: Daunte Culpepper hits Randy Moss for a 13 yard TD at the Superdome to bring the game within a point. The team lines up for a 2pt conversion to win the game, Culpepper drops the snap, scoops it and takes it in. Vikings beat the Saints 32-31.

New Vikings GM Nolan Teasley hired a fairly anonymous exec to be one of his AGMs.

Who is Andrew Healy?

Why was poaching him from the Browns such a priority?

“He is probably the smartest guy I’ve worked with in sports.”

What would the Vikings' future look like if they gave out a bunch of extensions before free agency? The Real Forno Show is live breaking it all down on the @Vikings1stSKOL YouTube channel https://t.co/OQ20HHkLtb

[Matthew Coller @MatthewColler]

Ran into a crazy stat when writing about how the bar is different for Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy in camp and long term… Kevin O’Connell is 31-9 when his QB had a passer rating above 90. Good QB play can take them a long way

What we saw and heard from Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy — and other important Vikings takeaways — at minicamp: https://t.co/U25ucJAyNC

[Jeff Berckes (Motivated) @gridironborn]

Incredibly excited to share this, from the mothership page - the best argument for defining the yardage for

💥Explosive Pass Plays
💥Explosive Run Plays

Might not be what you think or what your favorite outlet has been telling you.

When the Vikings decided on a high-profile QB competition like this, they invited many things.

Hoopla. Nitpicking. Constant questions.

They seem OK with all of it, confident the noise won’t limit the ceiling in the end. Split reps included: https://t.co/9e1kOP1Tij

I ranked the 25 most important Vikings for the 2026 season and wrote blurbs on each one!

Check it out and let me know who I've got too high or too low: https://t.co/F3tJD864BV

[Alec Lewis @alec_lewis]

Everyone had an opinion on J.J. McCarthy’s comments.

But one opinion matters.

What did Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell think and why? For @TheAthleticNFL…

Who is Nolan Teasley?

What are the Vikings getting in their new GM?

Someone who was immersed in the Seahawks’ best kept secret, perhaps the most overlooked layer in Seattle’s success: https://t.co/ySfsKABzP1

[Alec Lewis @alec_lewis]

The Vikings’ recent history is defined by Adrian Peterson’s rushing dominance.

And Justin Jefferson’s route-running savvy.

And … an endless cycle of siloes, egos and struggle at the very top.

The side-by-side metrics from the first year starting QBs in 2025.

Tyler shough is on another level. That guy is going to be a star (he already should be).
