The Minnesota Vikings had a very unique offseason where they fired their general manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, after the Senior Bowl. That left them without a clear titleholder, but Rob Brzezinski stepped up and guided them through free agency and the draft.
>Now, they have a new general manager in Nolan Teasley, who will craft the team into what he wants for a football team. But while he hasn't made any moves, ESPN looked at the best and worst moves of every team in the league.
>During Brzezinski's tenure, they highlighted the signing of Kyler Murray as their best signing.
>ESPN's Seth Walder writes, "The best thing about the Vikings' offseason is them signing Murray to a veterans minimum deal, which was possible due to his offsets from his contract with the Cardinals. It was a boon for Minnesota. Murray's services would be worth many millions more on the free market, and he provides an answer at quarterback in the wake of J.J. McCarthy's rough 2025 season. But I think chalking this up to luck undersells Minnesota's role. Murray surely had several options, and it's a credit to Minnesota -- with its strong head coach in Kevin O'Connell and elite wide receiver in Justin Jefferson -- that he chose the Vikings."
>The team is hoping Murray remains their best signing as they look to repeat the success they had with Sam Darnold on his one-year deal.
