Tyler Forness discusses how Kirk Cousins' previous contract with the Minnesota Vikings might keep the team from re-signing quarterback Sam Darnold.
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.
Sam Darnold’s season did not end in a memorable way, but he still could be the best available quarterback this offseason. How much will he earn?
There are plenty of really good reasons why the Vikings should do the opposite of what the insider thinks will happen.
The Vikings get a needed boost to their draft stock with the expectation they'll receive a third-round pick for Kirk Cousins' departure.
The Minnesota Vikings ’ matchup with the Detroit Lions in Week 18 was the regular season Super Bowl for both teams. Home field advantage in the playoffs, the critical bye, and the NFC North title were on the line — and like so many times in the team’s past, when the lights shone brightest, Minnesota faltered.
There was once an outside chance that the Vikings could land two comp picks for the 2025 draft, after also losing defensive end Danielle Hunter in free agency to the Houston Texans. Per Korte, that pick was ultimately offset by Minnesota signing cornerback Shaq Griffin last March.
Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold's final two games of the season have made Minnesota' decision at the position much easier.
Sam Darnold piled up stats this season, charmed the fanbase and probably earned himself a nice payday in the process. But will he get it from the Vikings?
If the Steelers don't move forward with Justin Fields or Russell Wilson, they have a few options via trade and free agency.
Sam Darnold is coming off the best statistical season of his career. He led the Minnesota Vikings to a 14-win season, throwing for 4,319 yards with 35 touchdown
Should the Vikings pay Darnold after his (mostly) excellent season? Or should they go with McCarthy and spend that money at other positions?
