The Minnesota Vikings could turn to Aaron Rodgers to solve their quarterback conundrum after Sam Darnold's performance against the Los Angeles Rams left a sour taste in the organization's mouth

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?

Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah spoke candidly about quarterback Sam Darnold and his future with the franchise.

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?

A couple of other quarterbacks fit that pattern, and the Twins, Lynx, Gophers and North Stars all have made boom-and-bust hires.

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

Should the Vikings pay Darnold after his (mostly) excellent season? Or should they go with McCarthy and spend that money at other positions?

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 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.

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.
