The NFL offseason always delivers its fair share of quarterback drama. The post Calls Mount Against Sam Darnold’s Pro Bowl Success After NFL Playoffs Failures As Vikings QB’s Future Remains a Mystery appeared first on EssentiallySports.

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

Quarterback Sam Darnold was a shell of himself over the team's final two games, committing three turnovers and getting sacked 11 times despite throwing for a combined 411 yards and a single touchdown.

Quarterback Sam Darnold is projected to leave the Minnesota Vikings for a monster offer from the Las Vegas Raiders for over $100 million.

According to a report, two new front-runners have emerged to sign Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold in free agency.

Jones didn't play any snaps in the Vikings' 27-9 loss to the Rams on Jan. 13 in the wild-card round Minnesota signed him off its practice squad. After completing 216 of 341 passes (63.3 percent) for 2,

The Vikings could bring back the 27-year-old, but other teams will likely be interested, too. Here's who could be in the market for the QB.

The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

McCarthy missed his entire rookie campaign with a knee injury that could impact his readiness next year and he has yet to take a regular season snap in the NFL. Jones could sign a one-year contract with the Vikings similar to the $10 million deal Darnold inked in 2024 and serve as a backup and/or bridge QB to McCarthy.

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.

Though things didn't turn out well at the end of his tenure in New York, Daniel Jones still has a few Giants legends who believe in him.
