Sam Darnold Cost the Vikings GM His Job
Feb 4, 2026
D.A. isn’t buying the official story — not for a second.
The Minnesota Vikings waited a full month after the season ended to fire GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Not after elimination. Not during exit meetings. A month later.
Why?
Because Sam Darnold balled out in the NFC Championship Game — and is now playing in the Super Bowl.
And suddenly, the Vikings look awful for letting him walk.
D.A. argues this firing wasn’t about a long-term evaluation or a new direction — it was about embarrassment. Once Darnold proved on the biggest stage that he wasn’t the problem, someone had to pay for it.
Now? All that’s coming out is dirty laundry — leaks and narratives meant to retroactively justify a decision that already looks panicked.
The timing tells the truth.
Everything else is damage control.
