Teasley making some front office changes....

For those asking, my understanding is that this is the extent of the initial changes to the Vikings' front office under new GM Nolan Teasley. https://t.co/Xbttg6nmGA

Not an earth shattering redux, but it's too early for that if it happens at all.

The Asst GM isnt a surprise to me - Teasley was always going to want his handpicked guy (or gal?)

I was wondering if Stephens was going to make it or not...He's been with the Vikings for almost 25 years now.

==============================================

EAGAN, Minn. — Recently hired Minnesota Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley is making changes to the front office, according to multiple league sources.

On Thursday, the Vikings parted ways with assistant general manager Demitrius Washington, senior personnel executive Jamaal Stephenson, assistant director of college scouting Pat Roberts and pro scout Salli Clavelle.

These moves signal a different approach from the route taken when the Vikings hired Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as their GM. At the time, the team preferred him to maintain the structure of the previous staff. Teasley also suggested in his introductory news conference that he wanted extensive time to evaluate what the Vikings currently have in their building.

“I haven’t been here to assess the people who are here,” Teasley said last week. “But I know there’s a lot of strong evaluators and a really strong football evaluation (team) in place. So, I would leave it at that.”

Stephenson and Roberts had both worked for the team for more than a decade. Stephenson joined the Vikings in 2002 as a college scout and eventually rose to director of college scouting in 2009. In 2021, he became the team’s co-director of player personnel. Meanwhile, Roberts was initially hired as a national scout before ascending to the assistant director of college scouting position in 2022.

Adofo-Mensah hired both Washington and Clavelle, two longtime San Francisco 49ers employees. Washington had emerged as a conduit between the front office and coaching staff in San Francisco, bringing running back fits to 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan. He approached the Vikings about pursuing other opportunities and was granted approval. Clavelle had been a college scout with the 49ers before the Vikings hired her in 2023.

These departures leave potential spots open for external hires. Teasley could add another assistant general manager, given that opposing teams don’t typically block candidates for positions with that title. Other June hires typically happen with football staffers whose contracts have recently ended.
