Cleveland Browns soon could be losing a part of their front office. Minnesota Vikings are expected to move forward with Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as the team’s next general manager. Adofo-Mensah was in a two-man race with Ryan Poles. With Poles likely becoming the next GM in Chicago, it is Adofo-Mensah’s job to lose, per a report.

Adofo-Mensah is the Browns Vice President of Football Operations. He worked closely with general manager Andrew Berry in helping run this team. Ever since last offseason Adofo-Mensah has been a hot name around a few general manager openings. He’s a young, smart mind that should fill in nicely with the Vikings.

Just two years ago it was the Browns bringing in a member of the Vikings. Yes, that is head coach Kevin Stefnanski. Now, the Vikings have dipped in on the Browns side of things to find a GM replacement.

Things could get interesting for Adofo-Mensah early on in his career. If he becomes the new GM there, which he’s expected to, Adofo-Mensah may have to make a choice on Kirk Cousins. Cousins is in the last year of his deal and the Vikings potentially could look to get younger at the position.

This is a very good step in Adofo-Mensah’s career. Leading the Vikings front office will be something new for Adofo-Mensah, but he is cut out for the job. In the mean time the Browns very well could be eyeing his replacement.
