He will hopefully aggressively fix Minnesotas needs in free agency. I love Berry's creative ways to fill a roster, hopefully he doesn't give away all of the secrets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Chad Graff@ChadGraff Of note: As the Vikings continue talks with GM frontrunner Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, one of the private planes owned by the Wilfs is headed to the Twin Cities this morning.

minutemancl Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Is this still the case? I saw he left Minnesota without a deal, something I didn't expect to happen. What a fascinating hire this would be though if it goes through. Kwesi is a genius (and a Jersey guy). If this works out, this could usher in the true moneyball era of football. Kwesi created some insanely cool models in Cleveland and San Fran, and by all accounts, he isn't a traditional 'football guy'. His moves as a GM would be mostly influenced entirely by these models. Super curious to see if that works out, if he gets this job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a tweet with a video of him leaving the building saying that his interview has concluded and he is leaving. Maybe they just meant the building?

Yeah, in that video I’m pretty sure they said “we’ll cancel the plane” or something to that effect right when it started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just meant the building? My guess is always that he was just going to his hotel since he was planning to stay overnight, which likely wasn't in the original plans.

I would think that he's going to review the interview videos (which I imagine were recorded) and then decide which ones he would want to bring back in person.
