The Seattle Seahawks have already seen a significant roster and coaching shakeup this offseason, with key departures like defensive backs Coby Bryant and Riq Woolen, as well as offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Now, the front office could face another major loss. Assistant general manager Nolan Teasley is currently interviewing for the Minnesota Vikings' general manager vacancy, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter.
Teasley has been a steady presence in Seattle since joining the organization in 2013. He climbed the ranks under John Schneider, starting as a pro scout before moving up to assistant director of pro personnel, then director of pro personnel, and finally earning the assistant GM title in 2023. If the Vikings hire him, the Seahawks would receive two third-round compensatory picks as a silver lining.
The Vikings, who fired GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in January, have yet to name a replacement ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Their search is heating up, with Teasley joining a shortlist of candidates that includes Rams assistant GM John McKay and Bills assistant GM Terrance Gray. For Teasley, the opportunity is hard to beat. Not only is it one of just 32 GM jobs in the league, but he'd be inheriting a roster featuring superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson and a proven winner in head coach Kevin O'Connell.
While the Seahawks would hate to lose a key architect of their front office, the potential compensation and the chance for Teasley to lead his own team make this a story worth watching as the offseason unfolds.
