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

Will the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in 2025 be Sam Darnold, J.J. McCarthy or Daniel Jones? It's the biggest question of the offseason and Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah isn't tipping his hand.

There's a door open for Jones in Minnesota, according to general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. In his end-of-season news conference, Adofo-Mensah openly admitted that the move to sign Jones midseason was to get a feel for his potential fit with questions surrounding Darnold and McCarthy.

After the Giants cut starting quarterback Daniel Jones, he joined Minnesota’s practice squad. It was a wise move, aimed at getting him on a team while maintaining the flexibility to sign with another team’s active roster, should the opportunity arise.

Darnold has come to the end of his one-year deal, but ESPN's Benjamin Solak predicts the Vikings will make a big financial commitment to the veteran quarterback and explore trades for McCarthy to one of the NFL's quarterback-hungry teams.

Vikings QB Sam Darnold had a career resurgence in 2024, leading the team to a 14-3 record with career-best statistics across the board. However, Minnesota lost their two final games for an early postseason exit where he didn’t look as sharp as before.
