Sam Darnold has had a tumultuous career, having started his career with the very worst and now been given the chance to finally prove his worth. With Minnesota continuing on with JJ McCarthy, that leaves the question of where he heads next.
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.
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.

Darnold has come to the end of his one-year deal, but ESPN's Benjamin Solak predicts the Vikings will make a big financial commitment to the veteran quarterback and explore trades for McCarthy to one of the NFL's quarterback-hungry teams.
If the Steelers don't move forward with Justin Fields or Russell Wilson, they have a few options via trade and free agency.
