The Vikings are not officially announcing their interviews for General Manager, but three more candidates for the role have now been reported.

According to multiple reports, Minnesota has put in an interview request for Titans assistant G.M. Dave Ziegler and 49ers assistant G.M. RJ Gillen. Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports notes the Vikings have also put in a request for Chargers assistant G.M. Chad Alexander.

Of this group, Ziegler has previous G.M. experience, having served in that role for the Raiders in 2022 and 2023. He was fired midway through his second season, along with former head coach Josh McDaniels.

Gillen has spent the last 11 seasons with the 49ers. He was promoted to assistant G.M. last year after serving as director of player personnel for two years.

Alexander has been the Chargers' assistant G.M. since 2024. He was previously with the Ravens' personnel department from 1999-2018 before serving as Jets director of player personnel from 2019-2023.
