Vikings GM Search: Top Candidates, Culture Fit, and AJ Schulte’s Pick — Tyler Forness and GM-candidate expert AJ Schulte discuss the Minnesota Vikings’ general manager search, focused on six external candidates with scouting backgrounds and one internal option, interim GM/cap specialist Rob Brzezinski. They examine whether Brzezinski fits best in a “triangle of authority” model and the potential trust and power-dynamics issues if he remains close to ownership. They group external long shots as Titans AGM Dave Ziegler, 49ers AGM R.J. Gillen, and Seahawks AGM Nolan Teasley, detailing concerns about Ziegler’s Josh McDaniels ties and highlighting Teasley’s respected scouting/pro personnel impact and Gillen’s wide-ranging, NBA-to-NFL background and role in major 49ers moves. The top contenders discussed are Rams AGM John McKay, Bills AGM Terrance Gray, and Chargers AGM Chad Alexander, emphasizing culture and collaboration; Schulte’s top choice is Alexander, followed by Teasley and McKay.
