Minnesota Vikings And General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah Agreed To Contract Extension
He was entering into the final year of his four-year contract so a deal was expected to get done. However, it appeared to take a little longer than some had expected. But not to worry Vikings fans as the Minnesota Vikings and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah (KAM) have agreed to a contract extension. The partnership that started in 2022 will now continue for years to come as it is a multiyear contract extension.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell and KAM both joined the Vikings together in 2022 and they have become a potent duo. O’Connell was extended earlier this year in January. So the Vikings have now locked down their general manager and head coach for the foreseeable future. They started their first season together with a bang ending with a 13-4 record and winners of the NFC North division. They had a hiccup in 2023 finishing 7-10 and third place in the division. But they rebounded in 2024 finishing second in the division at 14-3 just behind the 15-2 Lions.
Nevertheless, ownership couldn’t be happier with their general manager as was stated by Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf:
“Kwesi’s leadership, vision and collaboration with our coaching staff has positioned the Minnesota Vikings for sustained success,” Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf said. “His dedication and forward-thinking approach have been instrumental in shaping our roster and future, and we are confident that under the guidance of him and Kevin O’Connell, we will continue to compete at the highest level as we pursue a championship for Vikings fans.”
Vikings Owner/Chairman Zygi Wilf added:
“We are extremely excited to continue this journey with Kwesi in this role and confident in the direction he and Kevin are leading our organization. Kwesi’s commitment to building a championship-caliber team and his ability to collaborate effectively and make bold, calculated decisions has positioned the Vikings for long-term success.”

KAM made it known how happy he is to be with the Vikings organization. He stated:
“I’m beyond excited to continue this journey with the Minnesota Vikings,” Adofo-Mensah said in a statement regarding his extension. “This organization means so much to me, and I’ve always believed in what we’re building here. From the ownership to the incredible staff, there’s a true commitment to creating a winning culture with the goal of competing year in and year out. I’m thankful for the trust the Wilf family has placed in me. And I’m thrilled to continue leading our football operation alongside Coach O’Connell.
“Minnesota has welcomed my family with open arms, and we embrace the sacrifices that come with chasing the ultimate prize, knowing what it will mean to the best fan base and this great state. While we’ve made significant strides already, our focus will remain on building a team positioned as a perennial contender. This extension signifies we are on solid ground with the long-term vision we have set, and I’m incredibly excited to work with this group of talented people as we continue to push the boundaries of what this franchise can achieve.”
KAM And KOC Looking To Do Big Things
What’s also great about the general manager/head coach combo is that they are both still young. KAM is 43 while O’Connell is 40 so they are in their prime years right now. And no doubt they are able to relate to the younger players because the age gap is not too big. Together they have produced an overall record of 34-17 with a pair of playoff berths since coming onboard in 2022. Not bad for a couple of young guys.
Obviously, the Vikings believe they have found a winning formula. And so, we wish a hearty congratulations to KAM and look forward to seeing what great things are in store for him and the team.
