Minnesota Vikings quarterback and pending free agent Sam Darnold is expected to ink a $120 million deal this offseason.

With the Philadelphia Eagles winning the 2025 Super Bowl, the 2025 NFL offseason can officially begin. We should have a pretty eventful offseason in the NFL, with some big-name quarterbacks needing new homes and some marquee free agents poised to land major deals with new franchises.

The Minnesota Vikings are going to face stiff competition for QB Sam Darnold if they allow him to reach unrestricted free agency next month. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Sunday, February 9, that the Las Vegas Raiders will seriously consider a run at Darnold if he doesn’t ink an extension with Minnesota before then.

According to recent reports, the Las Vegas Raiders are interested in signing former USC Trojans quarterback Sam Darnold who is set to become a free agent. Will the Minnesota Vikings move on from Darnold and hand the offense over to J.

A lot of mystery surrounding the Vikings and how things are going to proceed with Sam Darnold. A variety of options exist — let him walk, re-sign him to a large deal, tag him, do a tag-and-trade — but Minnesota appears to be leaning in a certain direction.

Although Sam Darnold played well last season in his lone year as the starting quarterback, the Minnesota Viking already have a blueprint in place for what they are going to do. It is why Darnold has played his last down for the NFC North franchise.
