## Resource

The Minnesota Vikings search for a new general manager is heating up, with seven candidates in the running. Experts Tyler Forness and A.J. Schulte have ranked the candidates into tiers, from long shots to frontrunners. The underdogs include Tennessee Titans assistant Dave Ziegler, San Francisco 49ers assistant R.J. Gillen, and Seattle Seahawks Nolan Teasley. These candidates bring unique skills and experiences to the table, but Schulte warns against the unnecessary gamble of hiring Ziegler. Moving up the ranks, Rams assistant John McKay and Bills director Terrance Gray are praised for their leadership and talent evaluation skills. Chad Alexander from the Chargers tops the list as the culture king, ready to build trust day one. With this scout intel, the Vikings search stays locked in, poised for a front office upgrade.
