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

Will the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in 2025 be Sam Darnold, J.J. McCarthy or Daniel Jones? It's the biggest question of the offseason and Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah isn't tipping his hand.

After the Giants cut starting quarterback Daniel Jones, he joined Minnesota’s practice squad. It was a wise move, aimed at getting him on a team while maintaining the flexibility to sign with another team’s active roster, should the opportunity arise.

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

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.

Jones signed to the Vikings’ practice squad shortly after he had been released by the Giants earlier this season.

Would Minnesota get the most value by franchise-tagging its quarterback? Who actually makes the final decisions on draft night?

As such, Minnesota will be in prime position to revive another former starting quarterback's career in 2025 -- potentially as McCarthy's backup and/or his competition. The Vikings signed former New York Giants signal-caller Daniel Jones after he was cut mid-season and bringing him back is an option if Darnold departs.

According to Nick Korte of Over the Cap, the San Francisco 49ers are in line to receive three compensatory picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. With the news, the team's draft pick total climbs to 11. The biggest surprise from the announcement is what the team expects to collect courtesy of Sam Darnold.

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.
