I'm thinking he's the heir apparent, or he really loves Minnesota...

Good for him. Probably didn't want to go to a team that chose to give their GM access to $100M in cap space, blow most of it, then draft two big-time character risks in Polite and Edoga....and THEN fire him hoping to lure someone else to come in and manage it all.

Interesting breakdown of Paton's pros and cons written by Jets media pre-rejection.

Seems like deja vu all over again. 

Didn't this happen a few years back already?
edit: RTFA, yes in 2013 and 2015.
That said, light the beacon
Stellar draft record
If there’s anything the Vikings have excelled at during Paton’s time toward the top of the flow chart, it’s owning the NFL Draft

And yet another rejection of the jets by a Viking....damn they got to be developing a complex fairly soon.

Of course he is...

He either is the obvious heir apparent or is pussy whipped to an epic level.

I feel the same with Stefamski,  the question is how long do they have to wait?  PA swears that stefanski will be a HC inside of 3 or 4 years and with Zims age I think that fits,  but how long does spielman hang around?

It's a coastal thing---awhile back we had a similar disfunction with the hags to  a certain degree.
