The timing was unusual, as Adofo-Mensah had given a postseason news conference on Jan. 13 and had spent this week in Mobile, Alabama, scouting Senior Bowl practices. He is seven months removed from signing what the Vikings called a multiyear contract extension. The team had no immediate comment."

Something happened. Someone either threatened to leave or something reared its head with Kwesi. I mean, he was just in Mobile for the Senior Bowl, lol. YESTERDAY.

This feels most right to me too.

I just don’t get the vibes that there was anything but consensus in the plans. It doesn’t feel like he did anything rash and on his own that would strike people the wrong way.

I could also imagine pressure’s building because the team underperformed, but it feels weird that we would fire Kwesi. The next GM doesn’t really have any say in the roster. Probably puts a little extra pressure on KOC. I have to imagine that he’s out after next year if we’re not contending for a SB.

From Dianna Russini….yet she never reported it, lol. This chick is something else…

‘This may surprise much of the NFL world, but around the league, Minnesota making this move was widely anticipated.‘

Personally, I would like to commend the owners for doing this sooner than later. Now I can actually look forward to the offseason.

Frauds all around. And I just can't believe it given the timing.

If she's reporting it, it can only mean this is 100% about one person and one person only: Aaron Rodgers. Tongue

To that point from Pro Football Talk:

There's gonna be plenty of people who never breathed a word about issues in the Minnesota front office acting like they knew all along.

But Russini knew....

Talking to Vikings staffers: This was not at all expected to happen at this point in the calendar. Many are blindsided. There had certainly been a lot of tension in recent weeks and months, and a lot of murkiness within decision-making process.

What the hell are the Wilfs doing!? Again, they make some of the shittiest football decisions I've ever witnessed. They are awful
