Vikings owner Mark Wilf wants to get new deal with GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah done this offseason

At the NFL's annual league meeting, the Minnesota Vikings, led by head coach Kevin O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, confirmed they briefly considered adding four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to their quarterback room this offseason.
The Vikings considered pursuing Rodgers despite having a quarterback plan in place with J.J. McCarthy, a second-year player, due to their respect for Rodgers's abilities.
O'Connell kept McCarthy informed during the Rodgers discussions, emphasizing that it didn't reflect a lack of confidence in McCarthy, whom they hope will emerge as QB1 and project to have a positive year.
O'Connell stated, "Aaron Rodgers is a four-time NFL MVP and somebody who, not just myself, but we've all had so much respect for competing against him," while also affirming confidence in McCarthy's progress and potential.
Vikings co-owner Mark Wilf stated the team wants to complete a new contract with Adofo-Mensah this offseason and already extended Kevin O'Connell's contract through the 2029 season, signaling a desire to secure the team's leadership foundation and maintain their competitive culture.
