Heading into the NFL free agency period, with players allowed to sign with new teams on March 12, Sam Darnold is widely considered the top quarterback option available. That's not too surprising, though,

Darnold is set to be a free agent after completing the one-year deal he signed with Minnesota last March. General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said during his Tuesday press conference at the scouting combine that the club is still discussing how to proceed with Darnold — with the franchise tag one possibility.

Darnold put together his best seasons as a quarterback with the Vikings. He threw for 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while amassing 4319 yards on a 66 percent completion percentage. All of that paints a sparkling picture, but the last two games of the season likely tanked Darnold’s value.

The No. 1 question facing the Raiders in the offseason is who will be the starting quarterback for the 2025 NFL season?

The NFL salary cap will be between $277.5 million and $281.5 million for the 2025 season, rising as much as $26 million from last year.

Houston oddly restructured Diggs' deal right after trading for him, allowing him to become a free agent this year. Unfortunately for Diggs, he tore his ACL in Week 8. That injury, coupled with his age (he'll turn 32 in November) makes him a risky signing despite his productive past.
