Sam Darnold Not Expected To Re-Sign With Vikings
1 month agoNow that the Seattle Seahawks have opened up a quarterback destination by trading Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, quarterback Sam Darnold is not expected to re-sign with the Minnesota Vikings, sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Minnesota is reportedly now focused on other options they've been pursuing in recent weeks, which include soon-to-be free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers and potentially re-signing Daniel Jones. The Vikings remain committed to last year's first-rounder, J.J. McCarthy (knee), as the future under center in Minnesota, but they want to have an insurance plan in case McCarthy isn't quite ready to take over the starting gig in 2025 after missing all of his rookie season due to a torn meniscus suffered in the preseason. Darnold had a career year in 2024 and could command a deal worth up to around $40 million per year on the open market.
