Summary

Scott Mason talks to Arif Hasan who covers the Vikings for The Athletic about the general manager candidacy of Minnesota Assistant General Manager George Paton. Arif explains the circumstances that brought Paton to Minnesota, what Paton's role has been, how he is thought of in the organization, his long association with GM Rick Spielman, how he gets along with the front office and coaching staff, his philosophy for building a roster, key draft and free agency moves, how far the Vikings might go to try to keep him, why he turned the Jets down twice in the past and what might be different this time, whether or not he would ultimately want the Jets job and what it might take for the Jets to land him, what his track record says about whether or not he would be a good fit for the job, and more!
