Detroit Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew will not be joining a division rival.
CBS Sports reported Agnew is not among the five finalists for the Minnesota Vikings general manager job.
Agnew, who followed Brad Holmes to the Lions from the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 and has worked as Holmes' top advisor since, had a virtual interview with the Vikings last week.
According to CBS Sports, Vikings interim general manager Rob Brzezinski, Denver Broncos assistant GM Reed Burckhardt, Buffalo Bills assistant GM Terrance Gray, Seattle Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley and Rams assistant GM John McKay, a former colleague of Holmes and Agnew in L.A., are finalists for the job and expected to get in-person interviews next week.
With Agnew due back this fall, the Lions will have continuity at the top of their front office for the first time in four years.
Last year, Mike Martin, the Lions' director of scouting advancement, left to become general manager for Notre Dame. In 2024, the Washington Commanders hired Lions senior director of player personnel Lance Newmark as assistant general manager. And in 2023, the Arizona Cardinals hired Lions director of college scouting Dave Sears as assistant GM.
