Sam Darnold has had a resurgent year with the Vikings. Will he turn that into a big-money deal in free agency?

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.

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

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.

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

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.
