Nearly every offseason since 2012, when there has been a General Manager opening in the National Football League, the name of Minnesota Vikings’ assistant GM George Paton has been connected to the search in some way. He has had numerous interviews for positions outside of Minnesota over the years, but has always chosen to stay as Rick Spielman’s right-hand man.
With half a dozen GM openings across the league this season, is there a chance that the Vikings could finally lose Paton? Over behind the great E$PN paywall, Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano think that there’s at least a chance that it finally happens because Paton has connections with at least a couple of clubs that have openings.
