Well, it didn't take very long for Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to find another job in the NFL, as it was revealed on Tuesday that the former Minnesota Vikings general manager has been hired by the San Francisco 49ers as a personnel executive.
49ers general manager John Lynch shared the news about Adofo-Mensah, who was fired by the Vikings last month, at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday.
This isn't Adofo-Mensah's first stint with San Francisco, as he began his NFL front office career with the organization back in 2013 when they hired him as a Manager of Football Research and Development.
The timing of Minnesota's former general manager rejoining the 49ers is certainly very, very interesting since San Francisco just so happens to currently have a quarterback on its roster that the Vikings might be interested in acquiring this offseason.
Will Kwesi Adofo-Mensah get in the way of the Minnesota Vikings trading for San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones?
Adofo-Mensah was literally inside Minnesota's front office less than a month ago, so he should have a very good idea about what his former team wants to do at the quarterback position this year.
There has been speculation swirling around during the last few weeks about the Vikings potentially trading for 49ers quarterback Mac Jones this offseason. If that is truly something that Minnesota wants to do, there's a good chance that Adofo-Mensah already knew this when accepting his new role with San Francisco.
Will his return to the 49ers make it harder for the Vikings to acquire Jones this year? Could Adofo-Mensah convince San Francisco to jack up the price of what it would take for the Vikings to land Jones in a trade as a bit of payback for his recent firing?
Some might think there's no way Adofo-Mensah would ever do anything like that. But put yourself in his position. Would you want to help out your former employer achieve a goal just a few weeks after they fired you?
The answer to that question should be pretty obvious.
