There are plenty of really good reasons why the Vikings should do the opposite of what the insider thinks will happen.

The Minnesota Vikings are expected to consider replacing Sam Darnold with former New York Giants starting QB Daniel Jones.

Signed by the Vikings in March on a one-year, $10 million deal, Darnold — starting over injured rookie J.J. McCarthy, who underwent surgery for his meniscus during preseason — helped lead Minnesota to a 14-3 regular season record that boasted a nine-game win streak.

Sam Darnold's future as the Minnesota Vikings quarterback is a major question mark heading into the offseason. Has the former USC Trojan earned the right to be the starter next season, or will the Pro Bowler be on the move?

The Vikings general manager told reporters Thursday that Darnold is among the “good options” the Vikings have at quarterback while adding that J.J. McCarthy has returned to on-field training.

The Minnesota Vikings are facing major offseason questions at QB. One plugged-in NFL expert believes it will conclude with a lucrative Sam Darnold extension.

Sam Darnold’s shaky finish shouldn’t ruin his impressive season or impact his future. Several NFL teams need a franchise quarterback and Darnold proved he can be that guy in Minnesota, becoming the first quarterback to record 14 wins in his first season with a team.

The Indianapolis Colts need a QB to compete with Anthony Richardson, and one of the biggest free agents might do it.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold might have cost himself some money over his last two games of the season, but far from all of it. The post Vikings QB Sam Darnold Predicted to Sign Eyebrow-Raising Contract appeared first on Heavy Sports.
