Report: Vikings request to interview Eagles exec Catherine Raiche

The Minnesota Vikings requested to interview Philadelphia Eagles vice president of football operations Catherine Raiche for their vacant general manager position, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports.

This is believed to be the first GM interview request for a woman in NFL history, according to Garafolo.

Raiche joined the Eagles in 2019 as a football operations/player personnel coordinator before being promoted to her current role in May 2021. She previously worked in the front offices of the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes (2015-17) and Toronto Argonauts (2017-19).

Susan Tose Spencer was the NFL's first female general manager, taking on the role with the Eagles from 1983-85 after being promoted by her father, former owner Leonard Tose.

Minnesota reportedly also requested to interview Eagles director of player personnel Brandon Brown, who's been in Philadelphia for five years and was promoted to his current job in 2021.

The Vikings fired general manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer on Monday.
