Vikings hire Andrew Healy, Trent Kirchner as assistant GMs

The Minnesota Vikings have appointed Andrew Healy and Trent Kirchner as assistant General Managers under new GM Nolan Teasley, as reported by Alec Lewis of TheAthletic.com. Healy joins from the Cleveland Browns, where he was vice president of research and strategy. Kirchner follows Teasley from Seattle, where he held the title of VP of player personnel. The move comes after the Vikings made several staff changes, parting ways with Demitrius Washington and others. Healy holds a Ph.D. in economics and has experience in player valuation and draft strategy, while Kirchner brings over a decade of familiarity with Teasley from their time in Seattle.
