According to a new report from ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, the Vikings are “open” to a new deal for Darnold, who played on a one-year contract this past season. But the Vikings will not “mortgage” their future for his services. “I’m told the Minnesota Vikings are open to doing a deal with Sam Darnold,” started Fowler.

Sam Darnold will officially become a free agent in less than two weeks. After the best season of his NFL career, he will now have his most important offseason. He caught up with former Southern Cal quarterback Cody Kessler on the official USC Athletics YouTube account to talk about it all.

Sam Darnold's hopes for the Vikings to match an external offer in free agency appear washed, according to an insider report.

These signings can be a massive boost for teams. Look no further than the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. The team signed running back Saquon Barkley and linebacker Zack Baun in free agency last offseason and both had career seasons, especially Barkley.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler gave an update on the Vikings' approach to potentially keeping Sam Darnold for another season.

Analysts at Spotrac projected Darnold’s fair market value in 2025 to be $40,123,661 per year. Based on age, experience, and statistics of comparable quarterbacks, Darnold could be offered a four-year contract worth $160,494,644.

Free agency spells the final reveal of the much-anticipated fate of numerous big-name players across the league. However, none of those players have quite as much anticipation surrounding their future as Minnesota Vikings‘ quarterback,

There is a belief out there that the Minnesota Vikings are going to let Sam Darnold walk for free, which would be organizational malpractice.

The Minnesota Vikings are focused on improving their roster after last season’s decline. Because of this, Sam Darnold’s future remains under evaluation. An NFL insider has shared new details about his possible continuity with the franchise.
