After a disastrous game against the Jacksonville Jaguars last month, Darnold has looked like a completely different player as of late.

Sam Darnold is the latest veteran QB to have a late-blooming season on a much different team than the one who drafted him. Here's looking at the best places for him to sign in 2025 free agency, including staying in Minnesota.

Deshaun Watson isn’t the answer. Jameis Winston isn’t the answer. Dorian Thompson-Robinson isn’t the answer. Here are six quarterbacks who could be in 2025.

Also making the list of PFF's top 20 free-agent signings is Jonathan Greenard at No. 8, one spot behind Danielle Hunter, the man he replaced in Minnesota. Greenard has been everything the Vikings could've hoped for — and then some — in his first year under Brian Flores. He leads the team with 10 sacks and is third in the league with 60 pressures.

A potential plan for the Vikings to to trade Sam Darnold was called out by former Vikings linebacker Ben Leber.

When Sam Darnold signed a one-year deal to quarterback the Vikings this past offseason, not many people thought the former top-five pick would have an MVP-caliber year. Darnold has helped guide the Vikings to an 11-2 record and battling for the No.

Should the Vikings re-sign Darnold long term after his career year, or should they let him go and look to the future with J.J. McCarthy?

The plan has been in place since the start of training camp. J.J. McCarthy is clearly the Vikings quarterback of the future, and he will take over under center once head coach Kevin O’Connell determines that he is ready to trigger the offense and have it run at a high level.

The problem this team faces is that they just spent a top-ten pick on J.J. McCarthy so for them to endorse Darnold and discard him is no easy task.
