The new GM and the looming Qb decision...
His first big decision will be the same one that faced Adofo-Mensah after he replaced Rick Spielman: Determining the Vikings’ future at quarterback.
J.J. McCarthy said this week he has been told there will be “open competition” for the starting QB job after the Vikings signed former Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray to a one-year deal in March, and the conclusions Teasley and O’Connell reach about the two players will have plenty to do with how the decision plays out.
The Seahawks held a pre-draft interview with McCarthy, who worked with coach Mike Macdonald at Michigan, before the Vikings selected him six picks ahead of where Seattle was picking in the 2024 NFL draft.
And like O’Connell did four years ago, Teasley comes to Minnesota after a career in the NFC West, where the Seahawks faced Murray twice a year.
His familiarity with both players will shape how he views them as he starts his time with the Vikings, where decisions on both Murray and McCarthy loom after this season.
