Report: Vikings to again interview Kwesi Adofo-Mensah for general manager position

The Minnesota Vikings have reached the second round of interviews for their open general manager position, and a Browns executive is on that list.

According to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter, Browns vice president of football operations Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is expected to be in Minnesota on Tuesday. Kansas City Chiefs executive director of player personnel Ryan Poles, according to the same report, is expected to fly in the next day. Those are the two known finalists for the job.

Adofo-Mensah has held that title with the Browns for the past two seasons. He spent 2013-19 with the San Francisco 49ers, acting as the manager and later director of football research and development.
