Most of the 727 fleet was eventually bought by American Airlines. The American 727 fleet was already drawing down in 2001 due to higher fuel consumption and maintenance costs. The 9/11 attacks drastically cut demand for air travel, so the 727 fleets from all the US airlines were quickly grounded after 9/11 and retired. Those that weren’t scrapped were sold mostlt6 overseas.

I see they had scads of 727s. Bet Northwest Airlines picked them up.
That’s damned near all they flew out of Mpls.
